Naomi Campbell says she wants to move on after alleged assault claims are dropped
12 April 2012

Supermodel Naomi Campbell has said she wants to move on from an incident in which she was accused of assaulting a driver from the back seat of a luxury 4x4 after he said he regretted involving the police.

New York City driver Miodrag Mejdina said he "got angry and over-reacted".

He said, through his lawyer, that the incident was "blown out of proportion" and he wanted to apologise to Campbell "for causing that to happen". He would not press charges.

Mr Mejdina had told police that Campbell hit him from behind and his head struck the steering wheel of the black Cadillac Escalade.

Campbell, 39, has faced a series of lawsuits and criminal cases accusing her of attacking household employees and two police officers at London's Heathrow Airport.

Campbell issued a statement, saying: "On Tuesday March 2 I was accused of unacceptable behaviour towards a driver in New York.

"I have worked very hard on correcting my previous wrongdoings and I will not be held hostage to my past.

"I try to treat everyone with respect and I am pleased the driver has apologised. I would like to put the last few days behind me and move on."
