Andrew Deetz, of California, and his colleague, Kyle Henderson, were attacked by Spears as she left a Las Vegas spa.
According to Deetz, the pop star threw a baby bottle at him and threatened his life. Deetz has asked his attorney to file a legal request for financial compensation over the attack.
In the lawsuit, which has been filed in Las Vegas, the photographer accuses the singer of being attacked by Spears’ bodyguard when he was trying to take pictures of the star and her two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James.
If found guilty, the bodyguard could face six months behind bars and be required to pay a fine of $1,000.
