Lindsay Lohan fan charged with harassment and assault

An obsessed fan has been charged with harassing Lindsay Lohan and assaulting a security guard outside the London theater where the actress is working.

The Mean Girls star, who is currently living in the British capital while she appears in a production of David Mamet's Speed-the-Plow, has allegedly been subjected to a barrage of more than 1,000 texts and social media messages from Daniel Vorderwulbecke.

The 37 year old has been detained by police on suspicion of harassment, and he is also accused of criminal damage and assault for allegedly scuffling with a security guard outside the Playhouse Theater on 11 September (14) after he was barred from watching the actress rehearse.

During a hearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court in London on Thursday (16Oct14), prosecutors stated that Vorderwulbecke believes he is "married to Miss Lohan".

He was released on bail to a specialist mental health hospital where he will undergo testing to determine whether he is fit to stand trial.

Vorderwulbecke has yet to enter a plea on the charges. The case has been adjourned until next month (Nov14).
