Drunk David Hasselhoff Punches Doctor, Taken To Hospital (Again)

David Hasselhoff is so far off dealing with his alcohol issues, it’s becoming seriously sad. The former actor and reality star had been drinking “for days” at the St Martin’s Lane hotel in London when his worried assistant called a doctor – whom Hasselhoff then punched out. He was then taken to dry out in hospital – the fifth time he’s suffered from alcohol poisoning this year.

“On this occasion he became so drunk he wet his hotel bed – ruining two mattresses – and was becoming a real pain for staff. His assistant Joe Townley was so concerned he called out a doctor. David was furious and lashed out at him – but mistakenly hit the doctor. They decided they had no option but to lock him in the basement until an ambulance arrived,” the Sun reports.

The Hoff had apparently been carried out of Simon Cowell’s birthday party on the weekend, and also been shouting at hotel guests before the intervention was staged. He spent two nights at a private hospital before being discharged yesterday. [Photo: WENN]
