Law enforcement sources told WCBS-TV in New York that the troubled actress punched the unidentified woman in the face. It started around 4 a.m. ET, according to police insiders, who say after Lohan and the woman bumped into each other, words were exchanged and a physical altercation followed.

Insiders told TMZ that Lohan and the woman were sitting at separate booths when the actress said something like, "Give me my space." Time passed, according to the site, and Lohan allegedly got up and struck the woman in the face.

I think Lindsay had every right to punch/attack that person. Leave Lindsay alone.

Give her a break,on the Docs couch and Pastors office! I saw the movie,what's the problem,preconcived atitude of those who don't care and have forgot thier own path? I like the movie,I didn't see bad acting from my precpective.She isn't Liz she was just acting as if she were her under direction of others. If she was bad and the movie was bad would not the blame lay with them? It was thier investment and they were daily overseeing her acting,if it was bad why wouldn't they stop and demand better performance? Hum to simple or to broad thinking to make sence blaming the investors and directors for a bad movie?Bad acting is not always the reason for a bad movie.just thingbubba

Happy that this train wreck took her act to New York because Californians have had enough of her.

This poor woman needs mental health treatment. Anger management would be a start. She has symptoms of bi-polar disorder.

She is an accident waiting to happen. It's a shame. I wasn't even interested in watching Liz and Dick because she was in it. No interest in patronizing her pictures.

It's a shame. Get some help for that kid! We're all getting a little tired of it.

I agree...we'll soon be hearing hour upon hour of tidbits after her "untimely" demise from alcohol or drug overdose. Poor thing....and no parents that have ever given her any direction.
