Here’s video footage of Bleeding Love singer Leona Lewis being punched at a book signing in London Wednesday.

The X Factor winner was autographing copies of her new book Dreams at a shop in London’s Piccadilly district when the 6ft 5ins man attacked her.

The man, who is not from the UK and is known only as Peter, waited patiently in line to speak to Leona.

When he reached the front of the queue he lashed out, after which five of Leona’s security team jumped on him and pinned him down.

As Leona, 24, ran away, Peter shouted, “I love you Leona!”

She responded, “I don’t love you!”

Witness Emily Rose said, “It was horrendous. She let out a piercing scream and grabbed her temple. Security piled on this guy and Leona just started running.”

Fan Steve Caris added, “This bloke looked like a nutcase. He really walloped Leona. She must have been in agony.”

Leona’s mother Maria and boyfriend Lou Al-Chamaa accompanied her to the event, and Lou had to be physically restrained as he attempted to confront her attacker.

Leona was immediately taken to London’s Harley Street Hospital where she was checked for concussion.
