Cameron Diaz has accused a photographer of assault with a deadly weapon after she claims he tried to hit her and Justin Timberlake with his car on Tuesday night.

A spokesperson for the LAPD, April Harding, revealed: “The incident happened on the 1600 block of King Road in Hollywood.”

“Diaz and Justin Timberlake were leaving a friend’s home when a photographer hiding in the bushes tried to take a photograph of her. They both chased the photographer for a short distance. The photographer then got into his car and drove toward both (of) them, causing Diaz to jump out of the car’s way.”

“She felt the driver was trying to hit both of them, so she filed the reports. She’s alleging assault with a deadly weapon, with a vehicle.”

Harding added that the investigation is “ongoing” but it might be given a further twist: according to the photographer’s agency X17, “the pictures show… at least two people verbally and physically assaulting [the photographer]. Reports stating that Ms. Diaz has told police that the photographer tried to run her over with his car are completely false. The photographer was attempting to leave what he perceived to be a dangerous situation for him and when he tried to do so, Ms. Diaz and at least one other member of her entourage stood in front of his car in an attempt to entrap him. … The photographer is currently in the process of filing a complaint against Ms. Diaz and Mr. Timberlake.”
