Britney's paparazzo ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib has been stabbed. An online gossip website claims that the pop star's infamous old flame has been forced to seek medical treatment after being attacked.

Paparrazi agency JFX Online reports that Ghalib had "received a stab wound to his arm, facial lacerations as well as a nice shiner" after he was assaulted by an unnamed person Saturday.

JFX also claims that the shutterbug has been receiving more and more death threats in recent weeks. He is allegedly doing fine after his treatment.

The 26-year-old pop star had started dating Ghalib late last year. She had reportedly dumped him in February after discovering he had been cheating on her with another woman through text messages on his cell phone.
