Will.I.Am broke his foot as he ran from police - after he was caught defacing a bridge with spray paint.

The Black Eyed Peas star suffered a bout of depression last year (08) and in a bid to make him feel uplifted, he headed out in his luxury car to graffiti some brickwork.But the spraying session was cut short when the hip-hop star was spotted by cops - and as he attempted to get away, he took a tumble.He says, I went graffiti spraying in my Bentley. At the start of 2008 I was feeling depressed, so I decided to head to the freeway to tag (spray). I stopped under a bridge on Route 101 and wrote ‘No' in big letters using a can of black paint. I'd almost finished when two cops arrived. I broke out running across the freeway, tripped and broke my fifth metatarsal bone.Asked if there were any further repercussions from the incident, a representative of will.i.am's refused to comment.
