A US television newsreader who has already made headlines for sending revealing photos of herself to a married man has been arrested after allegedly punching a police officer in the face.
Alycia Lane, a newsreader on a CBS affiliate station, allegedly hit the female officer in Manhattan early yesterday (last night AEDT), the Associated Press reported.
It was not known what caused the fracas, which left the officer with a cut.
Lane, 35, appeared in court where she pleaded not guilty to assault, her lawyer David Smith said.
Lane co-anchors evening newscasts at KYW-TV, a CBS affiliate in Philadelphia.
Station spokeswoman Joanne Calabria said management was "very concerned for Alycia".
"We are still trying to sort out exactly what happened," Ms Calabria said.
Lane, who will reappear in court in April, "denies striking anyone", Mr Smith said.
"We're confident that after a full investigation of the facts she'll be cleared of these charges," he said.
Lane made national headlines in May after she emailed holiday pictures of herself and friends wearing bikinis to NFL Network anchor Rich Eisen.
The shots were intercepted by Eisen's wife, who sent a snarky message to Lane.
Lane said the pictures were meant to be good fun between old friends.
