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.

I hope for Ric this will get worked out fast.

Don't people realize that Flair owns this town (Charlotte)? If he's flashing his lights at you, get out of the way....he needs to be somewhere!

Seriously, I hope he gets everything straightened out. They dragged him through the mud pretty good on the news here in Charlotte.

Why should Flair get to break the laws everyone else has to abide by? He has a history of misdemeanors and getting into stuff. I personally think Nature Boy is a little too big for his britches sometimes. What is he doing assaulting someone in traffic?

i agree with garvinstomp. flair is just like everyone else he should get fined big time for this like anyone else would.

yes he should have to go by the same laws as you and I , but nowdays people make up things about celebrities all the time in hopes to get something out of it. I bet a money amount will be asked for by the person in the car. All I ask is just keep a open mind we were not their and only can go by what is on a report. People are innocent untill proven guilty in the USA.
