Lewis attacker "not fit for court"

The man who hit Leona Lewis at a book signing has been found unfit to attend court, and his case has been adjourned to 23 November pending psychiatric tests.

Peter Kowalcyzk, the man arrested after hitting Leona Lewis at a book signing earlier this month, and later sectioned under the Mental Health Act, has been deemed unfit to attend court.

He was due to face charges of assaulting the singer at the City Of Westminster Magistrates Court yesterday, but the case was adjourned until 23 Nov while he undergoes further psychiatric testing.

Kowalcyzk's lawyer, Mark Fidler, said that the results of the tests would dictate the way in which the court approached the case.
