"There was an attempted robbery with violence," an official at the prosecutor's office said.

According to The New York Post, Campbell was trying to hail a taxi when, sources say, she was "knocked over and robbed," leaving her with a torn ligament.

One source said, "It was terrifying. Naomi believes the assailant had been watching her, casing her out, and waited for a moment to strike when she was alone."

Naomi, 42, used a wheelchair and crutches following the attack, reports the paper.

When The Post called for a statement, Campbell said, "I am sorry, I do not talk to press, but I am fine."

Yeah...that's what the world needs, Naomi Campbell with a gun. Instead of throwing phones and simple assault, there's be a lot of dead maids, chauffeurs, stylists and make-up artist as she temper tantrums her way through life...making those unfortunates around her pay the price.

Can anyone say Karma? Sometimes what goes around comes around.

That's why many thousands of women have conceal and carry permits (especially those that cannot afford high dollar security). I would have no problem if she had capped & terminated both thugs. More women need to carry weapons (knives, guns, brass knuckles, rat poison) and learn to take care of business when they are attacked.
