Naomi Campbell has been sentenced in a New York court over the assault of her former maid with a mobile phone.

The supermodel will have to serve five days� community service after striking a deal with New York prosecutors.

As the Mirror reports, in court Naomi said: �This was an accident. I did not intend to hit her. I�m deeply sorry about that�.

As well as avoiding a potential sentence of seven years in jail, Naomi�s lawyer David Breitbart also argued that she should do something �palatable� like fund-raising, rather than sweeping the streets in public like Boy George.

She has also been given extra time to complete the sentence, because of her modelling commitments.

Throwing a phone at her housekeeper Ana Scolavino over some missing jeans is bad enough, but when said phone is apparently crystal-encrusted: well that�s just tacky.
