DiCaprio Attacker To Stand Trial: Bail Bond Now $600,000
A 40-year-old Canadian woman who is accused of slashing Leonardo DiCaprio’s face in 2005 with a broken beer bottle has been extradited from Canada was ordered to stand trial in LA on Thursday.
The attack left him with a bruised and bloodied face. The woman was recently extradited to the United States to face charges.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge found there was sufficient evidence for her to face a trial for assault.
The actor suffered injuries to his neck and face during the attack.
Earlier this year, a judge ordered the woman to stay 500 yards away away from DiCaprio and increased her bail bond from $150,000 from $600,000, stating concern about her "willingness and ability to come back to court."
The woman was on probation for a previous offense in Canada at the time of the attack, which was unprovoked and whose motive was unclear.
