LOS ANGELES - A photographer who said he worried he would be killed when Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband punched him in the face on a Beverly Hills street was awarded $4,510 in damages Friday.
The eccentric hubby, Frederic Von Anhalt, said he initially wanted to give the man much more for busting open his lip.
In his complaint, Dirk Smeten claimed Von Anhalt, 62, angrily approached and began punching him while Smeten tried to photograph him in May 2005. The blows caused Smeten to fall to the sidewalk, according to the complaint.
