Naomi Campbell is as renown for her fiery temper as she is her mile long legs and supermodel looks.
On Tuesday the supermodel’s temper was on full display, as RadarOnline.com can report she allegedly attacked a limo driver in midtown Manhattan, leaving him with a bruised cheek, before jumping out of the car and running away.
The driver alleges he was forced to pull his black Cadillac Escalade over near 58th Street and Second Avenue and call 911 after the attack.
Campbell’s assistant went to the police precinct to talk with law enforcement, while officers scoured the streets for the feisty Brit.
Campbell has a history of assault - she was sentenced to 200 hours of community service in June 2008 following an incident where she cursed, kicked and spat at police in a rage over a missing piece of luggage.
And she was sentenced to a week of community service in 2007, after pleading guilty to misdemeanor assault for throwing a cell phone at her maid when she couldn’t find Campbell’s jeans. Campbell carried out her sentence in a Manhattan garbage-truck garage, sweeping floors and scrubbing toilets.
She’s no stranger to attacking with a cell phone – Campbell pleaded guilty in 2000 to an assault charge for beating her assistant around the head with her phone.
