Leona Lewis was attacked on Wednesday by a crazy fan as she was signing copies of her new autobiography, “Dreams.” The crazy man stood in line for five hours and when he approached Lewis he punched her in the head. He was rushed by about five security guards immediately at the London bookstore.
An onlooker at the Piccadilly store said, the attacker “walked up there with the book, she signed it and, as she looked up, he just punched her. [My brother] actually heard the impact.”
“She was running out with her hand over her eye,” added another witness. “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.”
In a statement, Waterstones bookstore said this was the first incident of this kind it had encountered and officials were supporting the police in their investigation.
Although Lewis, 24, did not require a trip to the hospital, she did pull out of a scheduled appearance on BBC’s “The One Show” later that night.
