Orange Is The New Black star Taryn Manning is suing the NYPD for $10million over her 'false arrest' on November 18, 2014.

The actress, who plays Tiffany 'Pennsatucky' Doggett in the hit Netflix series, filed the complaint with Manhattan Supreme Court on Monday. Manning's action against the NYPD concerns an incident where she was hauled in handcuffs to the Fifth Precinct station in Chinatown.

Court documents show that the NYPD were aware at the time that the district attorney's office had decided against charging Manning over the alleged incident.

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

Manning's lawsuit claims police leaked details of her 2014 arrest to the media

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 was sentenced to six months in prison for violating the conditions of her release by texting the star.

In 2012, the actress faced allegations of assault in a series of unrelated incidents involving 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.

Manning is best known for her role as Tiffany 'Pennsatucky' Doggett in Netflix series Orange Is The New Black

Manning, pictured, has now been accused of attacking her former make up artist Holly Hartman

Leaked photos purport to show makeup artist Holly Hartman with scratches on her eyelid and a large bump above her left temple in 2012. The woman has accused actress Taryn Manning of repeatedly beating her

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.
