Naomi Campbell 'flees after assaulting her limo driver'
Thursday, March 04, 2010
Feisty supermodel Naomi Campbell was wanted for questioning by the police last night after she was accused of slapping and punching her chauffeur.
The male victim said the 39-year-old model attacked him while he was driving her around New York.
Police hunt: Naomi Campbell allegedly assaulted her limousine driver.
Campbell was sitting in the back seat of the black Cadillac Escalade when she allegedly flew into a rage and slugged the 27-year-old limousine driver.
It isn't the first time the famously cantankerous British beauty has been in trouble with the law over her violent tantrums involving employees.
She has previously been charged with beating up an assistant and throwing a jewel-encrusted mobile phone at her maid.
When the driver stopped the car in midtown Manhattan to call the police at about 3:00 pm on Tuesday, Campbell allegedly jumped out and fled on foot.
The chauffeur, who had been hired for the day, reportedly suffered a bruised cheek and 'bumps and bruises' in the alleged assault.
The driver, whose name has not been released, told police he pulled over after Campbell hit him from behind, causing his head to hit the steering wheel, which resulted in bruising under his right eye.
He spoke to a traffic agent, who alerted police. Campbell was not at the scene when officers arrived, police said.
The driver told police he picked Campbell up at a Manhattan hotel and was taking her to Astoria Studios, a TV and film studio complex in Queens, New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said.
"There shouldn't be a rush to judgement," her spokesman Jeff Raymond said. "Naomi will cooperate voluntarily, and there is more to the story than meets the eye."
