The star apparently lost his cool on seeing some paparazzi tailing him in the dead of night. Far from speeding off, the actor stepped out of his vehicle and snatched a channel's cameraman's equipment.

Says an onlooker, `It was around 2.15 am when Ranbir and the group sauntered out of the nightspot. Ayan was at the wheel of Ranbir's car while the star sat in the back seat. As they zoomed off, the paparazzi tailed them. When they reached Pali Hill, Ranbir stopped the car and got out.`

Adds the source, `They thought he would pose and give his trademark thumbs up sign, but the chain of events that followed left them aghast. Ranbir angrily walked towards the channel guy and snatched his equipment away. He then allegedly indulged in foul language and told him that he could tell his boss to pick up the camera the next day. Ayan also intervened and asked the reporter to go back.`

The posse of photographers then tailed him around Pali Hill, but he gave them a slip. They then waited outside his home, Krishna Raj, till 4 am but the star had not returned till then.
