A former TMZ photographer sued Britney Spears Friday over an incident in which his foot was run over.
Ricardo Mendoza filed a civil suit in Los Angeles claiming that Spears committed assault and battery when she ran over his foot in Beverly Hills on Oct. 18, 2007.
TMZ, which first reported the case, auctioned off his tire-stained sock and donated the proceeds to charity.
The incident happened at a turbulent time for Spears, who hours earlier had lost custody of her two sons.
Spears was accused of running over another photographer's foot a month after the Mendoza incident, but prosecutors didn't press charges, saying it was the photographer's fault.
