Brad Diaz was among 15 to 20 photographers gathered about 200 feet from a home Spears was believed to have been visiting, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Lt. Steve Smith told the Los Angeles Times.

"They put a county Band-Aid on him and transported him away in an ambulance," Smith said. "If there's anything below minor, that's what the injury was."
