Winehouse in court charged with charity ball attack

Amy Winehouse will appear in court today, charged with common assault over an incident at a charity ball.

The 25-year-old singer is accused of assaulting a woman in Berkeley Square, Westminster, central London, on September 26.

She is due to appear at City of Westminster Magistrates’ Court.

Winehouse has recently returned to Britain following a two-month break in the Caribbean.

On March 6, her spokesman said: “Amy voluntarily attended a police station in London yesterday morning.

“She was questioned by appointment in relation to an accusation made after the Berkeley Ball last year.

“She was charged with common assault and will attend a court hearing in the coming weeks.”
