Troubled Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding is facing assault charges after a dispute with her boyfriend on New Year’s Eve turned violent.
The star, who has only recently completed a stint in rehab, was with her Dutch boyfriend Theo De Vries in Hotel Schloss Matzen, Austria, when police were called to a disturbance. Harding claims that a drunken De Vries attacked her after she broke up with him – but it looks like Harding could also be facing charges for assault after police saw that the man had been injured.
According to police reports, De Vries suffered a black eye and also had a mark where Harding had apparently bitten him – and although De Vries tried not to press charges, the police have been forced to because they’ve seen the injuries.
A police spokesperson said: “Both the man and the woman face assault charges. The difference is allegations against him are because she made a complaint – allegations against her are as a result of the man's injuries… When it's clear there has been an injury the process is automatic.”
