Kobe Bryant denies hurting a man at a southern California church on Sunday, according to his attorney.

"Mr. Bryant is aware of the baseless allegations asserted against him," said a statement issued by attorney Mark Campbell, "and is prepared to defend against them fully."

Campbell identifies Bryant's alleged accuser as Thomas Hagos, 20, of San Diego. 

Hagos filed a police report saying that Bryant grabbed his cellphone while they were attending services at St. Therese of Carmel Church in the San Diego neighborhood of Carmel Valley. Bryant was angry because he thought that Hagos was taking his picture, according to the police report.
