Did Kobe Bryant Injure Man in a San Diego Church?

San Diego police today were looking into a man's allegation that he was injured by Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant at a Carmel Valley church.

The alleged incident took place at St. Therese of Carmel on Sunday.
Bryant was attending a service and thought a man was taking pictures of him with a cell phone, according to broadcast reports.

Police said Bryant took the phone from the man, saw no pictures on it, then left the church.

The man alleged that his wrist was injured when Bryant took the phone and went to a hospital for treatment, the report said.

Bryant has faced public accusations before. In 2003, he was charged with sexual assault after a Colorado woman lodged an accusation against him, but the charges were dismissed a year later.
