British singer Amy Winehouse has been arrested on suspicion of assault, BBC News reports.
Police told Usmagazine.com: "A 24-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion or assault after attending a central London police station by appointment. She is currently in custody."
Her rep tells Us the "Rehab" singer, 24, met with London police Friday morning for questioning following tabloid reports that she allegedly head-butted a man who tried to hail her a cab outside a bar in London on Wednesday.
On her way to the station, Winehouse (who went to rehab in January) burst into tears when reporters asked how she's feeling.
"She looked a mess," an eyewitness told Us. "She was crying and moaning - makeup smudged all over her face."
Winehouse was forced to miss her husband Blake Fielder-Civil's court appearance Friday morning on charges of assault and witness-tampering.
During the hearing, a judge ruled that he will remain in jail until at least June 9.
He has been behind bars since November.
