LONDON - TROUBLED soul singer Amy Winehouse went to a British police station on Friday to be questioned by police over an alleged assault.

The Grammy Award-winning singer, whose increasingly troubled private life and battle against drug addiction has overshadowed her recording success, had agreed to voluntarily attend the London police station, her spokesman said in a statement.

He said it related to an alleged assault in Camden, north London, earlier in the week.

Newspaper reports said the 24-year-old singer had punched a 38 year-old man in the street during a night out.

Her police visit came on the same day her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, 25, appeared in court charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice and inflicting grievous bodily harm. He denies the charges.

Winehouse, said to be worth an estimated 10 million pounds (S$27 million) in the latest Sunday Times Rich List, had been due to attend her husband's hearing, her spokesman earlier said.
