Model Campbell charged in relation to Heathrow 'assault'

Supermodel Naomi Campbell has been charged in connection with an alleged assault on a police officer at Heathrow Airport, her lawyer said today.

The charge follows an incident last month when she was removed from a flight bound for Los Angeles following an alleged row over luggage.

Thirty-seven-year-old Campbell will appear at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court in west London on June 20, lawyer Simon Nicholls said.

She was told she would face charges in connection with the incident when she answered bail at Heathrow police station this morning.
