Official: NYC driver says Naomi Campbell hit him

NEW YORK — Police say they are considering whether to charge Naomi Campbell after her driver says she slapped and punched him while he was driving her around New York City.

A law enforcement official says the 39-year-old model became enraged with the driver and started to hit him from the back seat on Tuesday afternoon.

The official says the driver stopped the car in midtown Manhattan and called 911. He says Campbell jumped out of the car and ran away.

The official spoke to The Associated Press on condition on anonymity because an investigation was ongoing.

The driver is speaking to police at a precinct. Messages left with Campbell spokesman Jeff Raymond were not returned.
