A celebrity photographer who was allegedly involved in a confrontation with actor Ryan Reynolds has now been charged.

Richard Fedyck has been charged with three counts, Crown spokesman Neil MacKenzie said Monday. The charges include criminal harassment, assault with a weapon, and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.

Vancouver police recommended charges of intimidation against Mr. Fedyck earlier this month. A police spokesman at the time said the charge recommendations were made after an alleged incident between a photographer and actor. Police said the actor was approached by the photographer in an underground parking lot on April 10 and struck by the photographer's car.

Mr. MacKenzie said two of the charges – assault with a weapon, and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle – stem from the alleged April 10 incident. He said the photographer's vehicle is the alleged weapon.

Mr. MacKenzie said the criminal harassment charge involves interactions between Feb. 28 and April 11.

"[Mr. Fedyck] is alleged to have unlawfully engaged in conduct during that time period that caused Ryan Reynolds to reasonably fear for his safety," the spokesman wrote in an email.

Mr. Fedyck is due to appear in court Tuesday.

In an interview with the Globe earlier this month Mr. Fedyck said the allegations against him were "100 per cent false" and he was justified in taking pictures of Hollywood stars in public places.

Police have said Mr. Reynolds suffered "very minor" injuries.
