Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan was arrested in lower Manhattan early Wednesday.

The Long Island native who has made headlines for her Hollywood antics was charged with leaving the scene of an accident, police said.

Lohan was pulling her Porsche SUV into the driveway of the Dream Downtown hotel on West 16th St. when she clipped a man in the knee, according to police.

The actress was allegedly traveling at a very low speed.

Lohan continued on to the party inside the hotel. When she returned to her vehicle at about 2:30 a.m., she was arrested by NYPD officers.

No alcohol was involved, according to gossip site TMZ.

She was released with a desk appearance ticket and is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 23.

The injured man who works at a restaurant near the hotel called 911.  He was taken to Bellevue Hospital.

Lohan's publicist, Steve Honig, said the incident appears to be "much ado about nothing" and that his client will be cleared, the AP reported.

Her attorneys did not immediately respond to voicemails and emails.

On June 8, Lohan was involved in a crash in California that sent her and her assistant to a hospital. They were on their way to a shoot for the film "Liz and Dick" when Lohan's Porsche collided with a dump truck on the Pacific Coast Highway. Neither was seriously injured and Lohan resumed shooting later in the day.

The accident remains under investigation and police have said they are trying to determine who was driving.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
