MUMBAI: A grieved shutterbug has sued Britney Spears for rolling over his foot with her Mercedes convertible in 2007, a headline-grabber that was captured on video and was one of the three incidents in which a vehicle being driven by Spears left someone injured.

The photographer Ricardo Mendoza, who was employed by TMZ at the time, did not press charges; instead, he filed a lawsuit last Friday claiming negligence and assault.

Spears "intentionally, deliberately, wantonly, maliciously and with a conscious disregard for the rights, health, and safety of others" drove her car in a way that caused her to "drive, push, ram and/or barrel through a crowd of people...severely injuring plaintiff," the complainant stated.
