Bullock requests restraining order against fan

Sandra Bullock has filed a request for a restraining order against the fan who tried to kill her husband last month.

Marcia Valentine attempted to run over TV mechanic Jesse James five times after driving her Mercedes onto the couple's Orange County, California estate.

In filing her request, Bullock reveals the incident is just the latest involving Valentine, explaining the fan has trespassed on her property "on several occasions" and has thrown objects over the gate.

As well as asking for personal protection for herself and her husband, The Speed star has also included James' three children in the restraining order request.

According to website TMZ.com, Valentine drove off before sheriff's deputies arrived on the scene on 22 April. Police tracked her down the following day and took her into custody.

She was held on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and has since posted bail and is awaiting her next court date.

Neither Bullock nor James were injured in the attack.
