Lindsay Lohan arrested for allegedly hitting pedestrian



NEW YORK (Reuters) - Actress Lindsay Lohan was arrested on Wednesday for leaving the scene of an accident after she struck a pedestrian on her way into a hotel in lower Manhattan, police said.

Lohan's latest brush with the law started shortly before 2:30 a.m. when she drove her black 2010 Porsche Cayenne SUV into an alley between the Maritime Hotel and Dream Hotel on West 16th Street.

Lohan's vehicle clipped a 34-year-old man, police said without elaborating. She got out of the car and entered the Dream Hotel.

"She was involved in a hit and run," a police spokeswoman said.

Lohan, 26, was arrested when she left the hotel a short time later, charged with a misdemeanor and released.

The man, who said his knee was injured, was in stable condition at Bellevue Hospital, police said.
Lohan has been trying to make a comeback after a string of legal and personal troubles, including stints in jail, rehab and court. She was released in March from almost five years of formal probation stemming from a 2007 drunken driving and cocaine possession arrest.
