SCRUBS STAR MASCHIO SUED OVER BAR BRAWL

SCRUBS star ROBERT MASCHIO is facing legal action from a bartender who alleges the actor choked him during a drunken brawl at a charity event.
The star, who plays Dr. Todd 'The Todd' Quinlan in the U.S. show, has been hit with a lawsuit from Tom Binder who claims Maschio assaulted him in a boozy rage at a Make-a-Wish charity event in Santa Monica, California last year (08).
The papers, filed at Los Angeles Superior Court, claim an intoxicated Maschio became angry when the charity auction ended and 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, who also names TV network ABC as a defendant, is suing for assault and battery and seeking unspecified damages, according to TMZ.com.
