Sphere: Related ContentDid You Catch?: Leona Lewis Punched in the Face at Book Signing
Oct 14th
It seems that Leona Lewis was the victim of an assault during a book signing for her book, “Dreams” in London earlier today. The singer was signing autographs, when suddenly a man, whom was standing on line walked up and punched Leona in the head.
The man was restrained by security guards and arrested for “suspicion of assault and was being held in custody.”
According to a statement from Leona Lewis’ management:
Leona was the victim of an unprovoked attack. The police were called immediately and medical attention has been sought. Leona is understandably shaken and apologizes to the fans she was unable to meet and complete signings.
An eyewitness at the store told the BBC, “[Lewis] was running out with her hand over her eye, and I just saw a man on the floor. Suddenly the security all jumped on him and they were trying to pull him out and he was just laughing. He thought it was funny.”
What a shame!
I can’t.
I cannot.
I refuse.
