Cohen sued over 'Bruno' prank

Sacha Baron Cohen has been sued by an elderly woman over a prank for his movie Bruno.

Richelle Olson claims that an altercation occurred when Cohen appeared as his alter-ego along with his film crew at a bingo game in Palmdale, California in 2007, IMDB reports.

Olson said that the actor "offensively touched, pushed and battered" her. She also accused the camera operators of harassment.

"Defendants attacked her for a period of one to five minutes to intentionally create a dramatic emotional response while they recorded her humiliation and embarrassment," the case's legal documents said.

Olson, who is suing for unspecified damages, also claimed that she was so shaken by the incident she passed out and hit her head on a concrete floor, leading to "brain bleeds" and her confinement to a wheelchair.

Last month, it was reported that Cohen suffered serious burns after trying to bleach all his body hair for the movie.
