Vanessa Hudgens: 'Zac Wasn't Attacked in London, I Was'

Vanessa Hudgens has blasted reports that her boyfriend and co-star Zac Efron was attacked in London last week -- insisting the press had the story backwards, and it was she who was set upon by a middle-aged man.

The couple were in London last week for the UK premiere of High School Musical 3: Senior Year. And it was reported that a man in his 40s pushed through Efron's security team and tried to grab the star's hair.

But, according to Vanessa, she and Zac were leaving the Apollo Theater in London's West End when a man got stuck in front of their car, blocking the entrance.

She tells Access Hollywood, "I actually got hit in the face! If anything, I was the one who got attacked, not Zac.

"There was a guy who was walking down the street and I think he was a little drunk and he got pushed into the craziness of it all.

"He was blocking the door so our bodyguard had to push him aside."

She continues, "I looked in the mirror and got a huge scratch and I was bleeding."

And Efron, 20, insisted he wasn't aware of the commotion until he saw Hudgens' wound in their car.

He said, "I just heard about it. I was just focused on [the] van door – I've gotta get to it. I got in the van and we drove away… I don't remember getting harassed."
