Cops : Lindsay Lohan Allegedly Assaulted in Hotel Room

 Lindsay Lohan was assaulted in a New York hotel room on Sunday morning, the police confirm to Gossip Cop.

After a night out at the New York hotspot 1Oak, Lohan invited a 25-year-old male she met named Christian LaBella back to her room at the W Hotel with a group of others.

At a certain point, we’re told the two had an argument over photos LaBella took of Lohan on his cell phone, and when she tried to grab his phone, the suspect allegedly threw the actress on a bed, leaving her with scratches.

Lohan told the cops after that LaBella choked her and pushed her to the ground.

A friend of hers came to her aid, and Lohan then pulled a fire alarm for help, prompting LaBella to flee down the hotel’s stairs.

The police fortunately were there on time to apprehend him.

We’re told LaBella has been charged with two counts of assault and two counts of harassment.

Lohan’s rep tells us that while "she did sustain some injuries, she was not hospitalized."

"Lindsay has spoken with police and is fully cooperating with the investigation," adds her spokesman.

 Lindsay Lohan is on the other side of an arrest for a change and she wants to see the guy who allegedly attacked her early this morning prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

According to our sources, Lindsay is telling friends she is still in shock over what went down this morning at her hotel room in New York. We're told she is sticking to the story she told cops -- that the man, Christian LaBella, attacked her after she confronted him for taking pictures of her and her friends.

We're told Lindsay feels the guy befriended someone in her group last night with the express purpose of getting to Lindsay. According to our sources, that friend didn't come back to the hotel ... but LaBella tagged along anyway.
