BEIJING, Sept. 21 (Xinhuanet) -- Cameron Diaz has filed a police report accusing a photographer of assault with a deadly weapon after he allegedly tried to drive his car at her and boyfriend Justin Timberlake.

"On September 19, just after midnight, Cameron Diaz filed a report with the LAPD,"People magazine quoted police officer April Harding as saying. "The incident happened on the 1600 block of King Road in Hollywood."

According to the actress's report, "Diaz and Justin Timberlake were leaving a friend's home when a photographer hiding in the bushes tried to take a photograph of her," Harding says. "They both then chased the photographer for a short distance."

"The photographer got into his car and drove toward Diaz and Timberlake, causing Diaz to jump out of the car's way," Harding said.

No one was immediately arrested as no suspects have been identified.

On Wednesday, celebrity photo agency X17 admitted to employing the photographer in question and quickly came to his defense.

"To the best of our knowledge, the pictures and video of Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz were taken on a public street where there was no 'Private Drive' or 'Private Property' sign visible," the agency said in a statement.

"What the photographer knows he saw and what the pictures show were at least two people verbally and physically assaulting him." Enditem
