Courtney Love Arrested on Assault Charges in NYC

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Singer-actress Courtney Love was arrested in New York early on Thursday after throwing a microphone stand into a nightclub audience and hitting a man on the head, police said.
Hours before her arrest, Love, 39, known for her sensational, disruptive behavior, bared her breasts on the CBS "Late Show with David Letterman." Love jumped on the desk used by Letterman for the late-night talk show and pulled up her shirt. She was not wearing a bra.
A police spokesman said Love was charged with assault and reckless endangerment after the 2:30 a.m. incident at an East Village nightclub. A court date for Love was not immediately set.
She threw a microphone stand into the audience and a 24-year-old man was injured in the head, police said. The name of the man was not released.
Love, frontwoman for the defunct rock band Hole, appeared in court in Beverly Hills, California, on Tuesday for a hearing to determine if she will be tried on drug charges. The hearing was postponed but not before she had disrupted proceedings and was admonished by the judge to keep quiet.
It was the fourth time a Beverly Hills judge has put off hearing the felony case stemming from Love's Oct. 2 trip to a local hospital for what police called "a medical emergency."
Love has pleaded not guilty to illegal possession of prescription painkillers.
She faces two charges in a separate case stemming from her pre-dawn arrest the same day outside a boyfriend's home, where police said she was breaking windows.
