Sarah Hyland leaves Modern Family party early after man is arrested for indecently assaulting her
Sarah Hyland fled a Modern Family party in tears on Tuesday night after she was allegedly indecently assaulted by a fan.
The 23-year-old actress had been posing with fans outside the Modern Family party hosted by Qantas at The Sebel Pier One in Sydney, Australia, when the incident occurred.
Sarah was left in floods of tears when a male fan who asked her for a photograph grabbed her breast, according to reports
Sarah is then said to have pushed the man away and screamed ‘Don’t touch me there!’ before her security stepped in to question the fan and pass the matter over to the police.
Pictures from the event showed Sarah angrily pointing at a man believed to have been the one who touched her inappropriately.
After the incident, Sarah is reported to have left the venue via the rear door in floods of tears.
Explaining her early exit from the event, Sarah later took to Twitter and wrote: ‘Sorry to all the fans outside the #qantas event that I didn’t get to say hi to but I had to leave due to an inappropriate touch of a fan.’
And Sarah’s boyfriend Matt Prokop was also quick to rush to her defence, tweeting: ‘To the asshole who assaulted Sarah tonight I hope to God you don’t see next week.
‘All Sarah wanted to do tonight was say hi to the girls who were waiting outside one douche can ruin it for everyone. Goodnight.’
