Miley Cyrus Accused of Punching Man at Hollywood Club

The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating a man's claim that singer-actress Miley Cyrus pushed and punched him at the Beacher's Madhouse nightclub in  hotel.

The man claimed the run-in with the 19-year-old star occurred about 1:15 a.m. Sunday, said LAPD spokesman Richard French. The alleged victim went to the LAPD's Hollywood Station afterward, and told police that Cyrus "pushed him and punched him in the face," French said.

"There were no visible injuries [to the alleged victim], and there was no arrest," French said. "The investigation is ongoing."

According to TMZ.com, the man claimed that he and his friends were sitting behind Cyrus and her fiance, actor Liam Hemsworth, "when things got rowdy."

"The alleged victim claims Liam got in his face and Miley jumped in the middle to break it up — but not before pushing him away and striking him in the face," TMZ reported. "A witness tells TMZ he saw the argument, but Miley never threw a punch."
