POLICE are investigating an incident this morning at a Kings Cross club involving Benji Marshall.
It's claimed the Wests Tigers star tried to punch another patron at the Sapphire Suite.
The Daily Telegraph has exclusive picture proof of the altercation.
A witness has told The Telegraph hostilities started when a man extended his hand to Marshall.

Police are investigating the incident, but have initially cleared Marshall of any wrongdoing after speaking to him on the scene and viewing CCTV footage.
While the 23-year-old Kiwi International was not arrested or charged, the incident raises fresh debate over the wisdom of NRL stars frequenting the Cross late at night.
It comes just three months after Parramatta star Jarryd Hayne was shot at two blocks from the Sapphire.
Ignoring warnings from Parramatta officials after the March 2 shooting, Eels quartet Mark Riddell, Brett Finch, Feleti Mateo and Eric Grothe were all inside the club when Marshall came to blows.
The Parramatta players had put Marshall's Tigers to the sword - 44-6 at ANZ Stadium - just hours earlier and were enjoying celebratory drinks at the famed footballer's hang-out.
The owner of the Sapphire Suite, Charlie Saleh, was shot in the thigh on the same night Hayne was fired upon.
