Naomi Campbell has been released without charge after spending 12 hours in police cell over assault allegations

Naomi Campbell has been released without charge after spending 12 hours in police cell over assault allegations.

The supermodel - who was arrested on Wednesday (25.10.06) for allegedly scratching her drug councillor’s face - was found “unfit to face questioning” and has since her release been allowed to travel to Paris.

Officers at London’s Belgravia police station reportedly suspected the 36-year-old was drunk when they first arrested her and she was placed in the cell to sober up.

A police source told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: “She was animated and abusive. A doctor was called and she was allowed to sleep in the cells. Several times during the evening she was visited and it was clear she was still not in a fit state to be interviewed.”

The former drug addict was also required to take a narcotics test, which she is believed to have passed.

Naomi, 36, was arrested at her London home after her therapist arrived at a police station with her face covered in scratches, claiming Naomi had assaulted her.
 
A spokesman for the supermodel described the incident as a “misunderstanding”.
 
Naomi is renowned for her vicious temper. This claim is her ninth alleged assault in eight years.
