London, October 9 (ANI): Actor David Hasselhoff reportedly landed in a hospital rehab unit after he accidentally injured a doctor at the end of a wild booze bender.

The Baywatch star, who has previously been hospitalised at least five times for alcohol poisoning, was said to have been drinking for days at his hotel in London.

His assistant allegedly called in the medic, who ended up with a bruised forehead after confronting the 57-year-old star.

“David is very hard to handle when he drinks, often very emotional and aggressive,” The Sun quoted a source close to Hasselhoff as saying.

“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 source added. (ANI)
