    Washington Redskins defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth has been accused of simple assault and a summons notice has been issued by authorities in Virginia, police said Friday.

    Police say he threw a punch at a fellow motorist Wednesday in a Washington, D.C., suburb.

    Fairfax County authorities said arrangements have been made through Haynesworth's attorney to meet with them to receive a summons-releasable warrant sometime next week.

    Haynesworth's agent, Chad Speck, said Friday the player had yet to speak to police or prosecutors.

    Haynesworth, 29, allegedly threw a punch to the nose of Joel Velazques, 38, of Leesburg, Va.

    Velazques told ESPN that after their vehicles jockeyed for road space in Reston, Va., a person he recognized as Haynesworth got out of a Ford F-150 truck with Tennessee license plates and confronted Velazques and punched him in the nose before taking off.

    Speck said the allegations are false.
