Singer Leona Lewis poses for pictures with her new book ‘Dreams’ at Waterstone’s booksellers in Piccadilly on Wednesday afternoon in London, England. These photos were taken before she was reportedly attacked by a fan during the signing. According to an eyewitness:
My brother saw the whole incident. He [the attacker] walked up there with the book, she signed it and, as she looked up, he just punched her. He [my brother] actually heard the impact. Suddenly the security all jumped on him and they were trying to pull him out and he was just laughing, he thought it was funny.” [READ MORE]

‘Leona was the victim of an unprovoked attack this afternoon at her book signing. The police were called immediately and medical attention has been sought. Leona is understandably shaken and apologizes to the fans she was unable to meet and complete signings.’
