An attack on Rihanna in London

Singer-designer was injured following her fashion line launch.

LONDON:

Singer Rihanna was forced to seek medical attention after a fan threw a bottle of energy drink Lucozade at her, due to which she fell and hurt her knee.

It happened when Rihanna was leaving a night club with her friend Cara Delevingne on Saturday night; she was there to celebrate the launch of her new fashion line for River Island at the London Fashion Week.

The 24-year-old singer turned designer lost her balance as a crazy fan allegedly shouted something about Rihanna’s boyfriend singer Chris Brown before throwing the bottle at her. Her bodyguard’s leg was also said to have been injured as he attempted to catch her attacker.

“The bottle caused Rihanna to stumble into a metal crate and slice open her leg. Rihanna’s bodyguard immediately went after the crazed fan but hurt his leg in the process. The guard was also taken to a London hospital for treatment and the mad-man is still on the loose,” reports contactmusic.com.

Rihanna’s participation in the event this weekend had generated tremendous buzz after fashionistas learned recently that she had cut a deal with River Island. The fashion show on Saturday night at central London’s Old Sorting Office did not end until the early hours of Sunday. Models walked the runway in highly tailored designs, posing in various compartments set up for the audience to get a good look at the collection.

Rihanna’s River Island collection features short, tight dresses in a variety of colours, as well as tiny tops and boots with high heels.
