David Hasselhoff spent two nights in hospital after a wild drinking bender in the wake of Simon Cowell's party.
The actor had apparently been drinking for days following Saturday's lavish celebration when his concerned assistant decided to call for medical help at his five-star London hotel.
But Hasselhoff lashed out and is said to have accidentally struck the physician - Dr Paul Ettlinger - in the eye.
Staff then manhandled him to the basement of the St Martins Lane Hotel while the doctor called an ambulance.
Hasselhoff, 57, was taken to London's £1,000-a-night Capio Nightingale Hospital, where he spent two nights in a private rehab suite before being discharged yesterday.
One fellow patient told The Sun: 'He was recognised immediately.
'Everyone was thrilled The Hoff had arrived and wanted to meet him.

Wasn’t he just hospitalized for alcohol poisoning a couple weeks ago?
He’s not long for this earth.
He might as well buy himself the casket he likes the best.
I feel bad for The Hoff...the dude needs some serious help.
“America’s Got Rehabs!”
This guy needs to understand he’s got a HUGE problem before he tries to do anything about it.
What a way to go through life.
He’s “Leaving Las Vegas.”
Yes, thanks. I think we all remember the video.
jacket looks wet too. might have been rain, or sprinklers or something
Slow suicide.
What happened to socialized medicine and everyone is treated the SAME?
He looks like a drunken Christopher Reeve.
This guy has major problems. Without some serious intervention, this isn’t going to end well for him.
This is really sad. I’ve never been a fan but just as another Child of God you have to feel for the guy. If the hamburger video wasn’t enough to shake him up into cleaning up his act I don’t think anything will. He’s probably not long foro this world.
It’s ok folks. His car drives itself.
Cheers!
