TORONTO (AP) -- Police have charged the tour manager of the Black Eyed Peas with assault after he allegedly punched celebrity blogger Perez Hilton outside a Toronto nightclub.

Hilton said he got into an argument with band members Fergie and will.i.am at the Cobra nightclub early Monday morning and was punched outside by Polo Molina, the band's tour manager. They were at the club following a Sunday night video awards show.

Molina turned himself in and has been charged with assaulting Hilton, Toronto Police Constable Tony Vella said. Molina is due in court Aug. 5.

Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, complained about the incident on the microblogging site Twitter. He tweeted at 4 a.m.: "I am bleeding. Please, I need to file a police report. No joke."

Hilton, who is openly gay, said in interview with The Associated Press that he called will.i.am a "faggot," a gay slur, inside the club after the musician told the blogger not to write about his band on his Web site.

"He was like 'You need to respect me.' He was in my face. He was obviously trying to intimidate me and scare me," Hilton said. "I was like 'I don't need to respect you. I don't respect you and I did say this, and I knew that it would be the worst thing I could possibly say to him because he was acting the way he was. I said 'You know what, I don't respect you and you're gay and stop being such a faggot.'"

Will.i.am said in a video posting on dip.dive.com that he came to Hilton with respect and was called a "faggot."

Hilton, who was at the club with Lady Gaga, said he then left the club and was punched from behind. The pop stars and the blogger were among celebrities in Toronto for the MuchMusic Video Awards on Sunday night.

A spokeswoman for the Black Eyed Peas declined comment.

I guess he didn't see the blood till it was dripping onto his computer?

This is my own ignorance, but does Canada have 911?

And, I think PH actually called the police and was just commenting to document it, which he said he was going. The above article does not go into it nor does it quote the tweets.

On edit - I think PH's cite is okay. I have no real opinion on him personally.

Some places do, but in smaller cities we have to send out smoke singles so the dogsled ambulance teams can come get us.

As long as there is something

Seriously, I was more interested in whether the actual digits dialed were 911.

In America, 911 is a fukcing scam. Every phone line here pays at least $1.50 for the service. So, in a place like Atlanta, that is about $250 million a year. It cannot cost that much to run that. So, someone somewhere is making like $200 million a year - fukcers

lol course. Every country has an emergency hotline don't they? It's 000 over here and was 999 back home but I think most places direct 112 to the emergency number because that's the common one that's used as a standard in europe.

Yes Canada has 911 and yes we too pay a service fee on every phone bill, land line and cell phone...

What is sort of ironic is because many people hate Perez Hilton, they will not see any side but the side that concludes that Perez Hilton deserved it. They will not entertain the possibility that the other side started it, continued it, and concluded it with violence. Such is life. Interestingly, the other side likely will face criminal charges and a potential civil suit, with Perez Hilton prevailing as words alone rarely is ever justify physical violence.
