Poor Leona Lewis just can’t catch a break….Leona was forced to flee to a police station Monday afternoon amid fears for her safety.

The X-Factor winner was leaving her East London home when her driver grew concerned their car was being tailed.

‘”She was being followed by about a dozen photographers and things were getting hairy,” says her rep. “She dived into the nearest police station, waited there for a while as things calmed down, then was able to continue on her way.”

A police spokesman confirmed: “We were alerted at 2.30pm to a potentially dangerous situation outside the garage. Officers attended and escorted a 24-year-old woman to a place of safety.”

Leona was hit in the face by 6ft 5ins Peter Kowalcyzk as she signed copies of her new book Dreams in London last Wednesday.

The man accused of attacking Leona Lewis was rejected from the TV talent show that made her famous — he’s also mentally unstable. Ya think?

Lewis, who won the British television talent show in 2008 and has topped charts around the world, was signing copies of her autobiography, Dreams, at a store in Piccadilly Circus on Wednesday when she was punched in the head.

“Leona was due to go to Germany today for promo but that has now been cancelled,” her rep explained in a statement, adding, “Leona is obviously shocked after yesterday, but is OK.”

Well, who knew book signings could be so dangerous, huh?

“We were called to Waterstones Piccadilly Circus at 4:35pm to reports of an assault. It appears that a male has slapped a female at the location,” a spokesman for Scotland Yard told the BBC News this afternoon.
