Russell Brand sued by man who claims he hit him in car

RUSSELL Brand is being sued by a man who claims the comic drove into him earlier this year.

Pedestrian Victor Sneed has accused the Rock Of Ages star of driving “negligently” when he struck him in Los Angeles.
In documents obtained by website TMZ, Sneed says he suffered personal injury, property damage and had to fork out on hospital bills as a result of the January collision.
Although the extent of the alleged victim’s injuries remains unclear, he claims he lost wages while he recovered from the incident.
Sneed is seeking £25,000 in damages.
In July, Brand avoided a possible prison term for smashing a photographer’s iPhone in New Orleans last year.
The 37-year-old agreed to pay a fine in excess of £300 and complete 20 hours of community service in a deal which saw prosecutors drop a criminal damage charge.
The funnyman could have ended up with six months behind bars after snatching the snapper’s phone and hurling it through the window of an abandoned building.
He turned himself in to police shortly after the altercation and joked on Twitter: "Since Steve Jobs died I cannot bear to see anyone use an iphone irreverently, what I did was a tribute to his memory."
