Black Eyed Peas’ tour manager Polo Molina has been charged over an alleged assault of blogger Perez Hilton.

The gossip monger was involved in an altercation with the Boom Boom Pow band after an award ceremony in Toronto on Sunday night.

Hilton claimed on Twitter: “I was assaulted by Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas and his security guards. I am bleeding. Please, I need to file a police report.”

Perez has since posted photos of his bruised face and video footage of the incident.

In his own video blog Will.I.Am said: “I didn't hit you. I told you that I didn't like the fact that you disrespected us. It's cool to have your opinion."

"Instead of calling the police you twittered that I assaulted you. Sounds like somebody wants mad attention and is not really concerned about his health.”
