Lisa Hyper Slapped With Assault Charges

Controversial female deejay Lisa Hyper was hauled before the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court on charges of disorderly conduct and common assault, on Thursday.

According to court reports, Lisa Hyper saw Robinson walking in Stony Hill square with her baby and another woman. The artiste approached Robinson and accused her of pointing her out to another person.

Robinson, reportedly ignored Lisa Hyper, who, it is alleged, followed her and repeated poked her in her head, while threatening to beat her.

After handing her baby to a passerby, Robinson retaliated with an umbrella and the two ended up in a brawl. A woman who attempted to separate the feuding women was also attacked by the artiste. Lisa Hyper received injuries to her head and left side of her face.

The two were taken to the Stony Hill Police Station where it is alleged that the deejay tried to hit Robinson with rocks, but had to be restrained. A spitting war then ensued.
