Leona maniac queued 5hrs to punch her
A GEEKY bumpkin queued for five hours to meet Leona Lewis yesterday - then punched her in the face.
Shocked Leona screamed and cried, "Oh my God" as the buck-toothed nut caught her on the temple with a fierce right hook.
The vicious attack came as the Bleeding Love singer, 24, signed copies of her new autobiography Dreams in a book shop
She clutched her head and burst into tears as she was whisked away from the scene by minders and taken to hospital.
Five security guards jumped on the 6ft 5in thug and pinned him to the ground.
Leona's furious boyfriend Lou Al-Chamaa, who was with her at the signing, tried to confront the warped fan but was held back.
The 2006 X Factor winner, now a global star, was checked for concussion at London's Harley Street Hospital.
Last night it appeared she had escaped with bruising.
But she pulled out of a planned appearance on BBC1's The One Show.
The 29-year-old thug had bought a copy of Dreams and seemed to be waiting patiently for Leona to sign it at Waterstone's in Piccadilly.
But as those around him in the queue chatted to each other, he stayed silent and aloof.
And he said nothing as he reached the front of the queue and unleashed his punch.
Witness Emily Rose, 21, who was behind him, said: "It was horrendous. He waited for Leona to bow her head then just lashed out - a proper full-on punch on the side of her face. She let out a piercing scream and grabbed her temple. Security piled on this guy and Leona just started running."
Fan Steve Caris, 33, added: "This bloke looked like a nutcase. He was like a bumpkin, well over 6ft tall and with buck teeth. He really walloped Leona. She must have been in agony.
