Double amputee Oscar Pistorius, 27, became embroiled in a nightclub brawl when he was "aggressively" interrogated about his ongoing murder trial.
According to Pistorius’ media representative Anneliese Burgess, Jared Mortimer started to ‘aggressively interrogate’ the sprinter about his involvement in the death of Reeva Steenkamp.

She said: "An argument ensued during which [Pistorius] asked to be left alone. Oscar left soon thereafter."
However Mr Mortimer has since told The Star that he had been introduced to Pistorius by a friend and that the Olympic and Paralympic athlete had verbally attacked him.
Describing the Blade Runner as "drunk and very aggressive", Mr Mortimer said he was prodded in the chest and told "you'll never get the better of me".

"I pushed him to get him away from me. A chair was behind his legs and he fell to the ground," said Mr Mortimer.
"A little bit later he had a confrontation with another man and the bouncers were asked to remove him because he was causing trouble."
Ms Burgess has said Oscar Pistorius "regrets the decision to go to a public space".
The incident comes just days after Pistorius’s defence team closed its case in the lengthy murder trial, which sees the athlete accused of deliberately shooting his 29-year-old girlfriend dead on Valentine's Day last year.
