Lindsay Lohan Allegedly Attacked In Manhattan Hotel Room
No matter where Lindsay Lohan goes, trouble follows close behind…Lately, though, it seems to not be her fault!
Access Hollywood is reporting that Lohan was allegedly assaulted in her Manhattan hotel room early yesterday morning by a 25-year-old man she met at 1 Oak nightclub.
According to the site, the man, Christian LaBella, befriended one of Lohan’s friends at the club and followed the group back to Lindsay’s room. It was there that Lohan discovered LaBella had taken over 50 pictures and videos of her on his cell phone.
It is being reported that when Lindsay tried to take the phone away, LaBella threw her on the bed, scratching her hands. Lindsay ran from the room, but when she returned, LaBella allegedly gave chase and choked her from behind, only stopping when a friend of the actress pulled him away.
Lohan’s rep, Steve Honig, commented on the incident, saying:
“Lindsay was assaulted early this morning in a New York hotel…While she did sustain some injuries, she was not hospitalized. The assailant was arrested and is currently in police custody. Lindsay has spoken with police and is fully cooperating with the investigation.”
LaBella was taken into police custody and charged with two misdemeanor counts of assault and two counts of harassment, but the NYPD says that charges have since been dropped after detectives realized that there was not enough evidence to support the assault claims.
This is the second incident involving Lohan in New York in as many weeks. Last week, she was arrested and accused of hitting a pedestrian and leaving the scene of an accident. Security recordings of the incident proved that the incident was exaggerated.
