Singer Leona Lewis was shockingly attacked at her book signing earlier this week (October 14), and now, her alleged attacker is in the mental wing of a local hospital.

Peter Kowalczyk, 29, was arrested by police after allegedly punching Lewis in the face as the Bleeding Love hitmaker signed copies of her autobiography, Dreams, at a central London bookstore.

The suspect, from south London, was sectioned under the U.K.’s Mental Health Act and is being examined by doctors, a spokesperson for Scotland Yard authorities has confirmed.

Kowalczyk is due to appear in the City of Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 26 October (09).

Leona needed minor medical help for a cut on her temple, but she was so shaken by the freak event that she has canceled her promotional tour in Germany.
