The window Russell Brand allegedly smashed with a projectile phone has been repaired for $240.

The British comedian is in New Orleans filming a movie, and has been accused of taking the device from the hand of photographer Timothy Jackson and hurling it at a nearby office building, causing the glass window to break.

However, following the incident on Monday (12.03.12), the window has been repaired, according to TMZ.com.

A warrant was issued for his arrest for simple criminal damage to property following the smash, but it is not clear if the repair means this will be rescinded.

In a police report, Timothy claims he was with a group of photographers when he spotted the star - who split from singer Katy Perry after 14 months of marriage in December - and began taking pictures of him on his phone from his car.

A man from inside the office said the actor has offered to pay for the damage and that the phone was returned to the photographer.

Joking about the smash, Russell wrote on twitter: 'Since Steve Jobs died I cannot bear to see anyone use an iphone irreverently, what I did was a tribute to his memory.(sic)'
