Britney Spears wedding arrest horror - Terrifying moment police storm ceremony to arrest ex

A picture has been released showing the terrifying moment Britney Spear's ex-husband Jason Alexander getting tackled to the ground.

Jason, who Britney was married to for 55 hours in 2004, took to Instagram Live to show himself breaking into the singer's property in order to gatecrash her wedding.

The live stream showed security trying to calmly usher him out before things escalated.

"She’s my first wife, my only wife," Jason told security. "I’m her first husband, I’m here to crash the wedding."

A 'physical struggle' took place shortly after, as reported by TMZ.

In the photo, Jason can be struggling on the ground while a security guard attempts to restrain him.

The security guard had his knee on Jason's chest while the gatecrasher tried to free himself.

Jason and the security guards at her home were involved in a physical struggle as they tried to stop him from entering the venue.

His live stream then suddenly ended.

Britney's attorney, Mathew Rosengart, has told the American publication he is "personally working" with the police to ensure Jason is punished for crashing the singer's special day.

The Ventura County Sheriff's Department also explained to Rolling Stone how he was detained by security personnel and arrested due to an outstanding felony warrant.

In the live stream, Jason could be heard yelling out Britney's name as he searched around the property for her.

He tells one security guard “don’t f**k with me” as he casually walks into the venue while calling for his former wife.

"So here’s the inside scoop guys at the bulls**t wedding, Jason Alexander, what’s up," he tells those watching the Live.

Britney, who was 'absolutely livid' about the situation, was married to Jason for 55 hours in January 2004.

The two had been drinking and celebrating the New Year when they decided to quickly tie the knot at a chapel in Las Vegas.

"It was just so crazy, man," Jason told Access Hollywood about the spontaneous wedding at the time.

"We were just looking at each other and said, 'Let's do something wild, crazy. Let's go get married, just for the hell of it.'"

Britney has not spoken much over the years about her first marriage.

In 2004, she told E!: "It was me being silly, being rebellious."
