Scrubs actor Robert Maschio has been sued by a man who alleges that the star attempted to choke him.
The lawsuit claims that Maschio, who plays the show's Dr Todd 'The Todd' Quinlan, drunkenly assaulted bartender Tom Binder at a Make-A-Wish charity event in Santa Monica, California, TMZ reports.
The case states that the actor grabbed Binder "by his necktie and began choking him, lifting him partly off the ground and yelling even louder: 'Let's take this outside'".
Binder is suing for assault and battery as well as seeking unspecified damages.
He also named Scrubs broadcaster ABC as a defendant in the case.
