Leona Lewis: Punched during UK book signing
A young man punched singer Leona Lewis in the head as she signed autographs and posed for photographs at a book signing session in central London on Wednesday. Her spokesman has confirmed this news.
Stuart Bell said that twenty four year old Leona Lewis were meeting members of the public at Waterstone's book store in Piccadilly in central London for nearly ninety minutes when a man from the line came up and hit her. He was immediately led away by security guards and later arrested by police.
Bell said Lewis, who was launching her new autobiography "Dreams," was shaken up by the incident and went to see a doctor as a precaution.
Leona Lewis shot to fame after winning the "X Factor" reality show in 2006, and her powerful voice has led to comparisons with Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston
London's Metropolitan police said a twenty nine year old man was arrested on suspicion of assault and was held in custody.
