Peter Kowalczyk, 29, was charged with striking the singer during a book signing at Waterstone's in Piccadilly, central London, on 14 October.

Mr Kowalczyk, who did not appear on Monday, has been sectioned under the Mental Health Act and is being examined by psychiatrists²（精神病医师）, the court was told.

The City of Westminster Magistrates³' case was adjourned⁴（延期，休会） until 23 November.

Mr Kowalczyk's solicitor⁵（律师）, Mark Fidler, said the results of psychiatric tests would dictate⁶（听写，口述） what approach is taken to the case.

The defendant⁷, of Waterloo, south London, has unconditional⁸ bail⁹ but is unable to leave hospital under the terms of the Mental Health Act.

Lewis's second album, Echo, is scheduled for release in November. She is due to play a gig in her native Hackney in east London on 2 November.
