Naomi Campbell hit her chauffeur, then left the scene before police arrived

Oh dear, it looks like Naomi Campbell's notorious temper has struck again - the supermodel has been accused of attacking her chauffeur.

Her driver told police that Campbell hit him from the back seat of a luxury Cadillac Escalade, causing his head to hit the steering wheel, bruising his right eye.

He immediately pulled over on spotting a traffic officer, who alerted the police, but by the time they arrived Campbell had walked from the scene. 

A harassment order was issued, but the driver has since decided that he will not press charges. The order holds no penalty, as no officer witnessed the assault.

Commenting on the incident, Campbell's spokesman stated: 'There shouldn't be a rush to judgment. Naomi will cooperate voluntarily, and there is more to the story than meets the eye.'

This is not the first time that the Brit model's quick temper has got her into trouble. She hit the headlines back in 2006, after being ordered to attend anger management classes and do community service, after she was found guilty of throwing a mobile phone at her maid.

Further community service came in 2008, when Campbell pleaded guilty to attacking two police officer at Heathrow.
