Omar Sharif hits woman at the Doha Tribeca Film Festival in Qatar

 Omar Sharif hits woman at the Doha Tribeca Film Festival in Qatar


He's a 1960s screen legend with more than a few acting honours under his belt, but Omar Sharif could have put his reputation in jeopardy after allegedly hitting a woman. 

The actor, 79, was making an appearance at the Doha Tribeca Film Festival in Qatar when the incident, which was caught on film, happened. 

As he posed with one woman, another remained a little too persisant in trying to pose with him, causing him to react angrily and, apparently, violently. 

Angry: Omar Sharif gesticulates at the woman who was overly persistant in asking for a photo with the actor at the Doha Tribeca Film Festival in Qatar



Though it is obscured by the back of her head, Omar raises his hand and seems to strike the woman in the face. 
According to a translation, he then tells the woman: 'My dear! I told you I’d get to you afterwards! I just said that and you’re standing here. Put something in your brain!' 


Then, after posing on his own for some solo shots, he returns to the woman with a far calmer demeanour and apologises before leaning in for a photo.
