Spears's ex investigated for 'car assault'

Adnan Ghalib is reportedly being investigated by police for hitting a man with his car.

According to TMZ, the former boyfriend of Britney Spears is suspected of inflicting felony assault and using his vehicle as a deadly weapon.

The unnamed victim has claimed that he visited Ghalib's LA apartment to deliver court papers relating to the restraining order that Spears has placed on him.

He has alleged that Ghalib intentionally hit him as he waited in his driveway, before fleeing the scene yesterday morning.

Police arrived at around 10.40am and reportedly noted that the process server had visible cuts and scratches, although he refused medical treatment.

A spokesperson for LAPD, who refused to identify the suspect, told E! News that a felony assault report had been taken, adding: "There is a detective assigned to the case."

Ghalib, who is believed to have not seen Spears for over a year, has refused to comment.
