Leona Lewis was slapped in the face during a book signing in London yesterday afternoon. Witnesses tell the BBC that someone slapped and punched the pop singer inside Waterstone’s Piccadilly Circus bookstore in front of a crowd of people. Police say they arrested a 29-year-old man on suspicion of assault and Lewis was taken to a hospital as a precaution. “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,” her rep said in a statement.
