Manning, according to Page Six, was arrested over allegations that she had sent threatening text messages to her former friend and alleged stalker Jeanie Heller.

According to court documents, the 37-year-old star was at a meeting with detectives with her attorney Stacey Richman.

She wrote: 'The meeting ended when I was handcuffed by a detective and locked in a small room adjacent to the interview room. Approximately 20 minutes later, I was removed . . . still handcuffed and marched through the precinct. I was processed and ultimately placed in a holding cell.'

Manning claims she remained in the holding cell for several hours and claims the NYPD leaked details of her arrest to the media.

She is also claiming for 'attorney’s fees, hours of detention, emotional distress and reputational harm'.

Manning's stalker Heller received six months in prison for violating a conditional discharge for texting the star.

However, despite her claim against the NYPD, the actress, in an earlier incident from 2012 it was claimed that she assaulted her makeup artist Holly Hartman.

Images released last week reportedly show Hartman following one of the alleged attacks.

The pictures, believed to have been taken in 2012 show Hartman sporting scratches on her eyelid and a large bump on her head.

Manning was not prosecuted over the alleged incident in 2012 after Hartman decided against pressing charges.

During the fight, the actress allegedly punched and kicked her make-up artist pal, scratched her face and bashed her head against the wall after a night of heavy drinking.

Manning was initially arrested and charged with assault and obstruction of breathing or blood circulation, but Hartman ultimately decided not to pursue the case.
