One of Jay-Z and Beyonce's bodyguards has been caught on camera appearing to lash out a member of paparazzi in Croatia.

The bodyguard is alleged to have pushed over 57-year-old cameraman Dragon Banovic after he followed the couple through the city's streets.

In a video of the incident, the minder can be heard warning Banovic to keep his distance as Jay-Z and Beyonce make their way back to a small boat following dinner.

But when he continues to film, the bodyguard appears to lash out at the cameraman, who falls to the ground.

Banovic then follows the party to the harbour where a tripod strikes the couple's minder on the back.

In the video, Jay-Z can be heard saying to his bodyguard: "Let's go, let's go, don't worry about it" and "stop stop stop".

But the man then climbs out of the boat with the tripod to confront the cameraman, before returning to throw it into the sea.

According to Sky News, local police are investigating the incident. Spokespeople for both stars have yet to comments.
