Upper West Side man head-butts production assistant on movie set

Those infuriating film-set street closures finally sent someone over the edge.
A hulking Upper West Sider on an errand to buy paint for his kid’s bedroom was so angry at being forced to walk around a massive movie shoot that he crushed a puny production assistant with a head butt yesterday.
“I live here! I pay taxes!” fumed the 6-foot-4, 285-pound Breffny Flynn, 43, who lost his cool at around 11:30 a.m. on Broadway at West 102nd Street, where a film crew was shooting “Premium Rush,” an action thriller starring “Inception” actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Flynn went ballistic when production assistant Steve Lafferty told him he had to wait a few minutes to cross the street.
“Don’t tell me what to do, motherf- -ker!” he yelled, according to witnesses. “I gotta get to the store! I gotta get to the store!”
Flynn clenched his fists and puffed out his chest before landing the powerful head butt on Lafferty’s face, witnesses said.
