A woman Friday accused rock star Billy Idol of beating her in the back seat of a car in which they were riding, the Sheriff's Department said.
Amber Nevel, 22, told deputies that at about 2 a.m. she was with the British rocker in a car being driven by the singer's manager."For reasons which aren't clear, Idol struck Nevel twice in the face with his fists," causing a large bruise on a her face and small cut inside her lips, Deputy Gabe Ramirez said.
"Idol's manager . . . stopped the car and both he and Idol got out and ran (eastbound on Sunset Boulevard at Holloway Drive).
"A motorist who happened to be following behind the car also stopped and rendered aid to Nevel. She was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for treatment of her injuries and then released."
