Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green, it's time to lawyer up.

Photographer Delbert Shaw claims in a lawsuit that the actors allegedly assaulted him in Hualalai, Hawaii, this past December, and E! News has obtained the documents.

According to court papers, the duo, clad in bathing suits, "began both verbally assaulting and threatening" Shaw when they saw he was taking photos of them during their tropical vacation.

He alleges that Green then threw his iPhone into the ocean, "physically accosted" him by "using his fists to pummel [him] in the face, tackling [him] to the ground, and using physical force" in order to get his camera away from him.

The suit alleges that Fox "encouraged [Green] to continue his violent attack."

In addition to "medical and incidental expenses" Shaw claims to have racked up as a result of the incident, he also says he experienced "humiliation and severe mental and emotional distress" at Green's and Fox's hands and was unable to continue working as a result of his injuries.

He is seeking an unspecified amount exceeding $25,000.
