'He just pushed a woman, sir': Bill Murray shoves a fan at Sydney Airport for 'getting too close to his female companion'

Bill Murray shoved a male fan at Sydney Airport on Friday after he apparently got too close to the actor and his female companion.

The 68-year-old was strolling through the terminal alongside musicians Mira Wang and Jan Vogler when the incident happened.

Bill and Mira were walking side by side when a young man approached the actor, getting in Mira's way.

The Groundhog Day star was quick to stop in his tracks and push the fan away from their group.

A person in the background could then be heard asking Bill why he pushed their friend.

The comedian snapped back: 'He just pushed a woman, sir. He just pushed a woman.'
