Probe into Blunt driving 'incident'

12 April 2012

Police in Los Angeles are investigating reports that pop singer James Blunt ran over someone's foot as he was leaving a party, then drove off.

The alleged victim told police his foot was injured at a Bel-Air Estates party, police spokeswoman Martha Garcia said.

"Some of the witnesses also reported that it was Mr Blunt who was driving the car," she said.

Blunt's publicist Sheila Richman said: "James was leaving a party and his car was swarmed by paparazzi."

In a statement, she said the singer was driving at 2 mph "trying to navigate his car through all of the people. We are looking into the matter".

The celebrity news website TMZ.com reported that the British singer was accompanied by supermodel Petra Nemcova.

Blunt received Grammy nominations this year for song and record of the year but lost in both categories to the Dixie Chicks.
