Washington, Feb 13 : Pop princess Britney Spears''s ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib is under investigation for allegedly trying to run over a process server with his car in Los Angeles.

The man, who was trying to serve Ghalib with court papers on February 9, was not badly hurt and filed a report for assault with a deadly weapon, though Ghalib, 36, is not a wanted man.

"The process server "ended up on the hood of the car, then fell off when (Ghalib) drove away, and ended up with scratches and bruises," People magazine quoted Lt. Brian Whitten as saying.

"He''s not liable for arrest. We first need to get his side of the story," he stated.

Ghalib and the Spears' former manager, Sam Lutfi, were issued restraining orders on January 30, after her father accused them of harassing his daughter.

There have not been any comments so far from Ghalib on the matter. (ANI)
