Lindsay Lohan wants police to reopen their investigation into the man she claims attacked her.

She filed a report claiming she was choked and thrown to the floor by Christian LaBella after she confronted him for taking (about 50) pictures of her in a New York City hotel room at the weekend but after police decided to drop all charges, Lindsay revealed she is furious and "in shock".

She told the New York Post's Page Six: "He isn't going to get away with this. I'm in shock and it was a really scary situation."

However, Christian's uncle Peter Jessop insists his nephew is innocent and blasted Lindsay's mother Dina Lohan for her remarks about the incident.

He said: "He doesn't deserve this. It's amazing that her mom said, 'Thank God he didn't have a weapon' - of course he didn't have a weapon. He's a good kid, he's worked for two congressmen. He just went to New York for the weekend. Hopefully this doesn't cost him his job. He is in shock about how the media has twisted this story."

Uncle Peter, you're forgetting that he's also been photographed with Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner which he promptly posted to his Facebook page, he doesn't at all court the wantonly fame hungry.

Lindsay had claimed Christian befriended someone in her group at 10AK nightclub with the intention of getting closer to her.

She said they later got into a heated physical argument (details of which can be found here) after she found out he had taken more than 50 photographs of her and was emailing them to his mates.
