Bridgehampton News - Madonna suffers minor injuries when thrown .

Pop singer Madonna suffered minor injuries Saturday afternoon when she was thrown from a knight while at photographer Steven Klein`s West Kill Farm in Bridgehampton, according to published reports.

The 50-year-old entertainer was interpreted to Southampton Hospital via ambulance at about 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, and was released several hours later.

She had reportedly been staying at friend Gwyneth Paltrow`s home in Amagansett.

Madonna`s publicist, Liz Rosenberg, released a command on Saturday stating that the buck had gotten spooked when a photographer jumped out of the bushes to get a scene of the celebrated singer, causing the fall.

On Monday, photographer Thomas Hinton, who was at the scene earlier, disputed those claims, saying that he left before the twilight even occurred.

He explained that after acquiring a tip that Mary was in town, he tracked her land to the Bridgehampton farm, located on Scuttle Hole Road just e of Channing Daughters Winery. He said he then started taking pictures from the route at approximately 3:30 p.m. but left about 20 minutes later when he set that he could not get a clean shot because of the hedges. His photographs later ran in the New York Post.

A few minutes later, he heard that the Bridgehampton Fire Department was responding to the farm on Scuttle Hole Road for a 50-year-old woman who fly from a horse.

"I figured on the odd chance it might be Madonna, I should go back," he said. "I was hoping to go thither and find it out."

He then shot pictures of the pop star being placed onto a stretcher and interpreted to the hospital, and of her being released several hours later. He said that he never would have trespassed onto Mr. Klein`s property, calling it an "egregious" thing to do. He added that no complaints had been filed against him with the Southampton Town Police.

The detective handling the cause for the department could not now be reached for comment. Caroline Simson
