CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Pro wrestler Ric Flair faces assault charges after a road rage incident on Interstate 485 in Charlotte. Another driver said Flair attacked him and his car.

The driver said he was on I-485 on Wednesday,trying to get out of town for the Thanksgiving holiday and traffic was slow.

The driver said he noticed someone behind him flashing their headlights, so he hit his brakes.

The driver said the car then pulled along side him, police said. The victim said he immediately recognized the driver as Ric Flair.

The driver told police that Flair got out of his car, walked over to the vehicle, grabbed him by the neck and damaged his car.

Police said there are two warrants out for Flair -- simple assault and damage to personal property.

Flair's attorney, Richard Finnell, said Flair is unaware of the warrants. He said Flair is in Michigan this week for a pay-per-view wrestling event.

Finnell said Flair would be back in Charlotte on Tuesday.

Ric Flair accused of assaulting motorist



Nov 29, 2005 : 10:18 am ET

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A Charlotte motorist is accusing "The Nature Boy" of staging an impromptu wrestling match on Interstate 485.

But Ric Flair is denying allegations that he got out of his car last Wednesday, grabbed the motorist by the neck and kicked the door of the sport utility vehicle, leaving the motorist with bruises and a dent in his Toyota 4Runner.

Last Friday, a magistrate issued warrants charging Flair with injury to personal property and simple assault and battery. Both charges are misdemeanors.

A spokeswoman for the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office says the warrants haven't been served.

The platinum-blond Flair has been in trouble with the law before. In his book, "To Be The Man," he writes about getting 82 moving violations in four years. He has also been sued for allegedly harassing attendants on a charter flight.
