Darpan News Desk, 13 Apr, 2015 12:12 PM

Vancouver police have recommended a charge of intimidation against a 52-year-old photographer whose car allegedly struck actor Ryan Reynolds.

Sgt. Randy Fincham says the men were involved in a confrontation and Reynolds was hit as the man tried to escape from an underground hotel parking lot.

He says the actor did not suffer any substantial injuries but had a sore knee and back Friday evening and was otherwise OK to return to work the next day.

Fincham says police have spoken with Reynolds and the photographer, who was arrested at the police station.

The suspect, whose name isn't being released, is from Richmond, B.C., and remains in custody and his car has been seized.

Vancouver-born Reynolds is in Vancouver to film his new movie "Deadpool."
