Inquiry over Hawking 'assault'

Police are investigating an alleged assault on top British scientist Stephen Hawking.
Detectives are believed to want to question Professor Hawking, author of the best selling A Brief History of Time, about a number of minor injuries he had recently suffered.

On Monday, asked about the alleged assault on Professor Hawking, a spokeswoman for Cambridgeshire Police said: "Police are investigating an allegation of assault on a 62-year-old man from Cambridge."

The world famous physicist is confined to a wheelchair after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease, a muscle-wasting condition, while at university.

The Cambridge University professor can only speak through a computerised voice synthesiser.

Professor Hawking achieved international prominence in 1988 with A Brief History of Time which examined the origin of the universe.
