Bill Murray has been caught on camera lashing out at a fan – threatening to step on a moviegoer’s foot for violating his personal space.
A TikTok clip that has gone viral showed the Hollywood actor, 74, walking inside the AMC Lincoln Square movie theater in New York City as fans seemed to crowd around him.
After a fan seemingly got too close, Murray can be heard yelling ‘Stop it’ before turning around and pointing his finger.
‘If you attack me like that again, I’ll step on your foot,’ said the Ghostbusters and Lost In Translation star.
A security guard then intervened and guided Murray toward an escalator as the actor accused the moviegoer of ‘physical assault.’
‘Don’t do it again!’ Murray warned as he walked away from the crowd.
‘You’re not big enough to do that,’ he added as the fan continued to apologize.
The video quickly made the rounds on social media, with the public split on Murray’s behavior.

Many fans were quick to defend the actor, with one comment reading, ‘Bill Murray is known as a good guy to the public. I don’t blame him for creating a boundary here.’
‘Don’t understand people bothering these people like they’re some kind of gods. They’re actors, just people,’ another agreed.
Some fans shared their experiences meeting the actor, testifying that Murray was kind to them during their interactions.
‘I was at a Cubs game, Bill Murray sat in front of us, he bought us a round of beers because we would stop fans from harassing him. Great guy!’ one fan shared.
‘I know Bill M from my childhood in Wilmette Ill and he’s a great guy and someone crossed the line so they must have been very aggressive and annoying,’ a second shared.
However, some comments slammed the actor for the aggressive behavior, with one user calling Murray a ‘Karen.’
‘It looks like Bill Murray attacked the guy behind him,’ another wrote.
