Taylor Swift's Dad Scott Involved in Police Investigation After Allegedly Assaulting Photographer in Australia

The alleged incident occurred hours after Taylor completed her Sydney leg of the Eras Tour.

Getty Images"As she got closer, the security shoved his umbrella in my face and camera, then as she got in the car her dad decides to charge me and punch me in the chops" McDonald alleged, adding that he called the police to report the incident but did not require medical services. A spokesperson for the singer tells ET, "Two individuals were aggressively pushing their way towards Taylor, grabbing at her security personnel, and threatening to throw a female staff member into the water." In his interview with NewsWire, McDonald said that he only realized that the alleged assailant happened to be Taylor's dad -- who was seen during her Sydney Eras Tour shows, including in one video with Rebel Wilson-- until after the fact.
