Celebrity Justice
Cops: Leona Lewis Attacker Has Mental Issues

Posted Oct 15th 2009 12:15PM by TMZ Staff

Leona LewisHere's a shocker -- cops say the guy arrested for slapping pop singer Leona Lewis in the face yesterday may not be right in the head.

Officials at Scotland Yard claim they just charged 29-year-old Peter Kowalczyk with common assault and "sectioned" him under the mental health act -- which means he's being held so doctors can evaluate him.

As TMZ previously reported, Lewis was taken to the hospital Wednesday as a precaution after the attack at a book signing in London.

As of now, Peter is due back in court October 26.

She should have had a body guard
to knock the snot out of that
idiot. That guy's lucky I wasn't
there, or I would have myself.

She should have had a
bodyguard with her so
he could knock the snot
out of that creep. If I
were there I would have either
gone to jail or the hospital
because I would have tried to
beat the living hell out of
that kook!

13. This is why I never understand why anyone would want to be a celeb. To have my life in complete chaos all the time. All the go, go, go. Being surrounded by fans, having them bug me for a picture, or a autograph. No way. Then the paps up my a$$ all the time.


Yeah, good luck with that. Run now, while you are not so famous. It will never be worth it.

I like my nice little insignificant life thanks, at least I can go to the mall and not have a bodygaurd with me.
