Man who 'attacked Lindsay Lohan in her hotel room is a GOP congressional staffer [View all]

A Republican Party staff member allegedly assaulted Lindsay Lohan at a five-star New York hotel last night.

Christian LaBella, 26, works for Illinois congressman John Shimkus and has been photographed with vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan.

LaBella has been charged with harassment after allegedly getting in a tussle with Ms Lohan at the W Hotel in Manhattan's Union Square, when he is said to have punched her after she demanded he delete cellphone photos of her.

LaBella has his own connections to the famous and powerful - his aunt is comedian Heather McDonald, and he is employed as a staffer for Illinois GOP congressman John Shimkus.

On his Facebook page, he has posted images of himself posing with high-profile figures such as Mitt Romney's running mate Paul Ryan and former presidential candidate Herman Cain.
