CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Professional wrestler "Nature Boy" Ric Flair faces assault charges after an alleged road rage incident, Charlotte, N.C., television station WSOC-TV reported.

Another driver said Flair attacked him and his car on Interstate 485 the day before Thanksgiving.

The driver said he was trying to get out of town for the 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 alongside him, police said. The victim said he immediately recognized the driver as Flair, a World Wrestling Entertainment star.

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 -- one for simple assault and another for damage to personal property.

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

Finnell said Flair would be back in Charlotte on Tuesday.

Probably some damned yankee. Why would you slam on your brakes of the guy behind you is flashing his lights? That means, "Get out of the fucking way you non-driving POS!" Ass-hole drivers with no consideration for others are taking over our roads in Charlotte. I-485 is our beltway for those who don't know. Traffic moves pretty well then suddenly you'll come up on some ass hole in the left hand lane going slower than everybody else. Happens every day. One of these days I'm going to mount a paint ball gun to the front of my car.......

Rusty, where are you going to get a four wheeler?

[Rusty24]

A lady had an Uncle pass and she stated she was 15 miles North of Charlotte.
