A photographer received a wound to the head after he was allegedly shot at outside the Cuckoo Club in Mayfair.

Clubbers including Miller and Camilla Fayed were escorted out of the venue after police cordoned off the area and searched for the gunman.

Witnesses claim the shots were fired following an altercation between a clubber and the paparazzi outside the club at 2.40am.

An eye witness said: "There seemed to be some kind of altercation between the paparazzi and one of the guys leaving the club and this ended up with one of the photographers being shot at the back of the head.

"He received a graze to his head and was pretty shaken up by the whole thing. All he heard was this bang behind him. He didn't know what kind of gun had been fired.

"The police then went through the club looking for the attacker. Some people were saying that he ran back into the club and then fled through a back door."

Police were called and evacuated the club to search for the weapon. The eye witness added: "There were a lot of paparazzi outside. It seems someone took exception to them and decided to attack one.

"Sienna and Camilla looked like they couldn't wait to get out of there."

Peaches and Pixie Geldof were also at the club earlier in the night, with Kimberly Stewart and Donny Tourette.

A spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Police said: "We were called to an alleged shooting at 2.42am. There were reports that an air gun had been fired at a male.

"He required no hospital treatment and there have been no arrests at this point."

The club is popular with royalty. Princes Harry and William have been seen there, as well as Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.

The shooting follows a string of attacks on the paparazzi by celebrities leaving clubs in the early hours.

Last month, Harry lashed out at a photographer outside Boujis in South Kensington.

In September last year, Jamiroquai frontman Jay Ka, was arrested after an alleged assault on photographers outside Kabaret's Prophecy in Soho.
