Paris Hilton might want to rethink her paparazzi-friendly living arrangements. Her boyfriend, Cy Waits, was attacked outside of a court appearance where they were to testify against a guy who broke into Paris’ house last August wielding two knives. (TMZ has video of the incident, and it’s not as dramatic as it sounds in the story below.) The attacker was another stalker of Paris’, not the defendant, and he smacked Waits in the head and was promptly restrained and arrested. The guy claimed to be there to propose to Paris, who said she recognized him as someone who was arrested on her property late last year. So Paris had to see two stalkers in one day. She does have security at her house, and she had a bodyguard with her who restrained the guy until police could get there.

Paris Hilton and her boyfriend Cy Waits had a scary incident before they entered a Los Angeles County court Wednesday afternoon and RadarOnline was there to witness what happened.

As the couple walked into a Van Nuys, Ca. court, a man took a swing at the pair, and landed a punch on the back of Cy’s head. Cy was stunned by the hit but continued into the courthouse, protecting Paris.

Paris’ bodyguards, though recognized the attacker and jumped into action. The man in question, James Rainford, was arrested last October when he rode his bike through the gates of Paris’ luxury Beverly Hills community, in a failed attempt to see her.

As RadarOnline reported at the time, he was subsequently ordered to perform community service and was placed on three year’s probation.

Paris instantly wrote on Twitter about what happened today. “That other psycho intruder just punched Cy in the back of the head as we were walking into the court house. So scary!”

Paris is in court to testify against another man, Nathan Parada, who is charged with breaking into her home with a large knife in his possession when Paris’ boyfriend, Cy Waits, held him at gunpoint until cops arrived. If convicted of the felony burglary charge, Parada could get six years in state prison.

Poor Paris, it must be hard to tell the stalkers apart from the paparazzi. Only the real crazies with the knives and the marriage proposals stand out from the pack.

Remember last week, when actress Sara Salahi called out Paris Hilton via Twitter for almost hitting her with her car and supposedly running a stop sign? Well Paris told Extra that she wasn’t even driving that day. That sounds like the time she claimed that someone stole all the thoughtful gifts she purchased for her mom for Mother’s Day. So convenient. To be fair to a woman who doesn’t deserve it, there are a lot of skinny bird-faced women in LA with fake hair. There’s only one that drives a pepto bismol pink Bentley with custom license plates, though, so I think Paris is probably super identifiable when she’s driving.
