The photographer was injured but was not taken to hospital, revealed the report.

"Of course I'm going to sue them...but I don't care about the money,” News.com.au quoted the photographer as telling TMZ.

He claims he is "lucky to be alive", especially since the driver was wearing sunglasses while driving in a dark alley.

"I want to press charges so badly...she's going to jail,” he said.
