Campbell begins mopping duty

Naomi Campbell has begun five days of mopping at New York's Sanitation Department, as punishment for hitting a maid with a mobile phone.

The 36-year-old arrived in stiletto ankle boots, but with a pair of work boots slung over her shoulder.

She wore brown trousers, a black coat belted at the waist, a cap and dark glasses.

Dozens of photographers witnessed her arrival, but she will work behind closed doors. She is being allowed to do her cleaning duties in private to avoid the media scrum which surrounded Boy George when he swept the city's streets in the summer, as punishment for wasting police time.

The supermodel turned up a few minutes before her scheduled reporting time of 8am.
