The actor struck the man - who has yet to be identified - while out with his daughter at the hotel's posh rooftop bar, Top of the Gate, at around 11 pm.

Police say charges are pending for the man, after he was questioned in his hotel room that night by investigators after fleeing the scene of the altercation - and he will faces charges. 

However, Harrelson was not charged in the incident - as investigators say he acted 'in self-defense.' 

According to police, the man - who police say had been drinking and has yet to be identified - lunged at Harrelson after the actor approached him and asked him to delete a slew of photographs he had taken of him and his daughter.

Harrelson 'approached the man and requested him to delete the photos,' Dustin Sternbeck, director of communications at the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia, said in a statement after the incident, which occurred minutes after 11 pm Wednesday night.

Harrelson then 'got into a verbal dispute with' the man, who allegedly 'lunged toward' the actor to try to grab his neck, a public incident report filed after the late-night altercation reads.  

Harrelson then preemptively punched the man before he could land his own blow, according to eyewitness accounts and the police report. 

The man then fled from the star to his hotel room.
