![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
We've learned Nicky Hilton was an alleged battery victim yesterday and the suspect was arrested.
It happened at 5:00 AM outside the IHOP in West Hollywood. Law enforcement sources tell us a male transient pushed her to the ground. Nicky got up and promptly made a citizen's arrest. Someone called the cops and the suspect was arrested.
She was not injured.
UPDATE: We just found out Nicky herself held the assailant at bay while the cops came. So Nicky is an enforcer! And, when the cops came, the delusional dude claimed he was her BF.

Well I think we can rule out the possibility that she was at IHOP to eat.

My immediate reaction is to side with the "transient". But I guess we don't really know the whole story...maybe Nicky was trying to help him. I suppose I feel bad for both people in this one.

Ace (#7) - This is America and you could become rich yourself one
day if you just get an education, work hard and handle your money
wisely. You're not a victim of evil Republicans. Class warfare is
instigated by politicians to gain popularity and votes. Don't fall
for it.

cant believe the jealous people on this site...no girl or person deserves to be touched by a stranger. You people acting like Nicky got what she deserved have another thing coming. You must be very miserable people to find it funny that someone was in danger. I'm sure if it happened to you, you wouldnt be laughing so hard. I love TMZ but the fans seem like real vipers on this site!

Ragardless that it was Nicki, you gotta give her credit for taking control of the situation without flat out resorting to kicking his bitch ass for knocking her down which I would've done...
