The police have released surveillance footage from Lindsay Lohan's midnight drive on West 16th Street, when she allegedly struck a pedestrian and injured him. The starlet thinks she's being set up by the victim. Unfortunately this video doesn't really clear anything up:
The police said, "In the attached video, a vehicle driven by the actress Lindsay Lohan is seen turning into a location where a pedestrian passes in front of the car with his back toward it... The same individual is then seen standing by the side of the car as it enters and, later still, walking after it as the car moves down the passageway. The same individual reported that he was struck by the vehicle as it turned into the location. Faces of complainant/witnesses are intentionally blurred."
The Post points out, "Lohan’s black Porsche can be seen rolling through a sidewalk and down a narrow parking ramp, as a man chased her down from the street. Lohan appeared to be driving slowly, at least by the time she reached the sidewalk, because the half dozen or so pedestrians in the frame didn’t have to scramble for safety. The video didn’t show how [the car] came from the street, closer to where pedestrian Jose Rodriguez, 34, said he was hit."
Lohan was issued a desk ticket for the Wednesday incident.
