Police have arrested a man over an alleged assault on 2006 X Factor winner Leona Lewis at a book signing. A Scotland Yard spokesman said police were called to Waterstones book store at Piccadilly, London, but Lewis did not need hospital treatment.
Lewis's spokesman said the singer had been signing autographs for around 90 minutes when "a guy came up and punched her to the side of the head".
The spokesman added that Lewis was "understandably badly shaken".
In a statement, Waterstones said: "There was an incident at our Leona Lewis signing this afternoon and the event was immediately stopped.
"We are now doing everything we can to support the police in their enquiries."
Lewis had been signing copies of her new autobiography, Dreams, which is due to be released next month.
One fan at the scene told the BBC: "My brother saw the whole incident. He [the attacker] walked up there with the book, she signed it and, as she looked up, he just punched her.
"He [my brother] actually heard the impact."
Another eyewitness added: "She was running out with her hand over her eye and 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."
Lewis's spokesman added: "The police were called immediately and medical attention has been sought.
"Leona's understandably badly shaken and apologises to the fans she was unable to meet and complete signings for."
