Naomi Campbell to scrub New York floors over phone rage incident

UNITED STATES: British supermodel Naomi Campbell is to spend a week mopping floors at a New York City warehouse for hitting her maid with a mobile phone, prosecutors said Wednesday.

Campbell, who was sentenced in January after pleading guilty to reckless assault, was to start scrubbing the Lower East Side Sanitation Department warehouse on March 19, a prosecution source said, asking not to be named.

Campbell, 36, was also ordered to attend a two-day anger management course and pay more than 350 dollars to cover housekeeper Ana Scolavino’s medical expenses over the March 2006 incident.

The supermodel’s lawyer, David Breitbart, asked officials last month to ensure Campbell served her sentence indoors and preferably on a project that reflected her interests in AIDS charities and children’s organizations.
