Witness Geroge Hudacko told New York media the actress and writer was screaming as she was attacked.

Davenport was taken to New York Presbyterian Hospital for a psychological evaluation, according to police.
In a statement, Freeman paid tribute to Ms Hines, who was the granddaughter of the actor's first wife Jeanette Adair Bradshaw.

"Her star will continue to shine bright in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. May she rest in peace."
Ms Hines studied at the Graduate Acting Program in New York and went on to teach "under-exposed youth" in Memphis, Tennessee, according to her website.
