Lohan due in New York City court

Faces charges in Manhattan nightclub assault case

1/7/2013

NEW YORK — Actress Lindsay Lohan is scheduled to appear in court to face assault charges in connection with a fight at a Manhattan nightclub.

She's charged with misdemeanor assault in the Nov. 29 incident at Club Avenue.

The “Mean Girls” and “Liz and Dick” star allegedly struck a woman in the face during an argument.

She's due in criminal court today where she'll learn whether prosecutors will pursue the case against her.

At the time of her arrest, her attorney, Mark Heller, said Lohan was “a victim of someone trying to capture their 15 minutes of fame.”

In September, she was involved in an NYPD investigation after alleging a man assaulted her in a hotel. Charges against the man were later dropped.
