Lindsay Lohan hid her face from photographers Thursday morning after leaving the NYPD's 10th Precinct after she was arrested and charged with third-degree assault for allegedly hitting a woman in the face at the Manhattan nightclub Avenue.
The 26-year-old actress, according to authorities, hit the woman, 28-year-old clubgoer Tiffany Eve Mitchell of West Palm Beach, Florida, around 4 a.m. ET Thursday, after the two exchanged words after bumping into one another while rubbernecking a separate fight that broke out near the VIP area of the venue, where they both were seated. Prior to visiting the club, Lohan had attended Justin Bieber’s concert at Madison Square Garden.
While the initial run-in seemed to pass by without incident, LiLo later confronted Mitchell, hitting her in the face, leaving it swollen and bruised, police said.
Lohan was issued a desk appearance ticket and was ordered to appear before a New York judge on January 11.
As she left with an entourage around 7:30 am E.T., witnesses said Lohan repeatedly yelled, "Get out of the car Gavin, get out of the car now!" likely in reference to one of her assistants, Gavin Doyle.
