The Sun reports today that Pete Doherty squirted a syringe-full of his own blood at two MTV News cameramen, leaving a horrified crew scared of infection and needing to sterilise thousands of pounds worth of filming equipment. Bandmate Drew McConnell was so angry with the singer that he stormed off.

MTV News had managed to secure a backstage interview with Babyshambles after a gig in Berlin. Pete, who remains close to Kate Moss, had refused to join his bandmates. But midway through the interview Pete appeared in the room and sat down. No one spotted the syringe he was holding — although you can make it out in my exclusive sequence of pictures. He then took aim and unloaded a barrel-full of his own blood on the camera lens from a few yards away. His face lit up and he shouted: “That was a wicked shot. That’s going to make a cracking link that is.” But his two bandmates — bassist Drew and dummer Adam Ficek — were not pleased. Drew apologised to MTV saying: “I think the interview is over my friend. I’m really sorry about that mate, that’s fucked up.” Then Drew fled and was seen kicking a door in a rage down the corridor. Pete also left but returned to perform a song once MTV had managed to clean the lens.

Why are people complaining? It’s not everyday that someone gives blood for free. At least, it’s not other people’s blood. Pete, you’re still my hero.
