Lindsay Lohan was arrested and issued a desk-appearance ticket for leaving the scene of an accident early Wednesday morning in Manhattan's Chelsea District, police tell WHO Magazine.

Authorities say a 34-year-old Hispanic male alleges that Lohan clipped him when she was driving her 2010 black Porsche Cayenne SUV in an alleyway between the Maritime and Dream Hotels, on 16th Street between 8th and 9th Avenues in New York City on September 19.

After allegedly hitting the man, she or her occupant got out of the SUV to check the vehicle for damage, then the two went into the Dream, say police. The victim was sent to Bellevue Hospital with a knee injury. There is no word on the severity of his injury.

When Lohan returned to her car after leaving the club, she was arrested.

TMZ.com, which first reported the arrest, says that no alcohol was involved.

Lohan's rep, Steve Honig, released a statement: "While some of the facts are still being gathered, it appears that this is much ado about nothing. We are confident this matter will be cleared up in the coming weeks and the claims being made against Lindsay will be proven untrue."

Lohan's arrest comes days after the troubled actress took to Twitter Sunday night to comment on fellow troubled star, Amanda Bynes's recent legal troubles (Bynes, 26, has been ordered not to drive by an L.A. judge after the actress was charged with a DUI and two counts of hit-and-run accidents in recent months.)

"Why did I get put in jail and a nickelodeon star has had NO punishment(s) so far?" Lohan [Tweeted.

Minutes later, the actress, 26, followed up with: "These are the moments that I appreciate my life experiences, living without regrets and Disney for supporting me as an actress-night all."

Bynes, who has been ordered by a judge not to drive following a DUI charge and two counts of hit-and-run, also had her car impounded after she was cited for driving with a suspended license last week.
