London: British supermodel Naomi Campbell, currently facing assault charges in the United States, was released on police bail this morning over claims she attacked her drug counsellor in London. The claims appeared in a front-page story of The Sun tabloid, which said the unnamed "shaken therapist" walked into a police station and said Campbell had scratched her all over her face, prompting a raid on the star's home. The 36-year-old catwalk star was arrested at an address in the Westminster area of central London at 17.50 IST yesterday and taken for questioning. She was released on bail, shortly after 1.00 am (local time), today and told to report to police on an undisclosed date later this month, London's Metropolitan Police said without naming Campbell. Campbell's spokesman said yesterday that he believed there had been a "misunderstanding", adding, "We are sure it will all be sorted out when the police investigate." Campbell has pleaded not guilty, but if the case goes to trial, she faces a possible seven-year jail term if convicted. Campbell is one of the world's most recognisable faces having worked with several major designers, including Ralph Lauren, Versace and Dolce and Gabbana.
