The troubled singer, 24, is expected to be arrested after a 38-year-old man alleged she assaulted him.
She was clearly distressed as she was driven away from her home in Camden, North London.

The assault claim is the latest blow for the singer, who is supposed to battling drug addiction.
Police launched in inquiry after it was reported that Winehouse assaulted two people outside a bar early on Wednesday morning. She allegedly punched one man inside a bar near her home and head-butted a Good Samaratin who tried to hail a cab for her.
Charged: Blake Fielder-Civil
Assault carries a six-month jail sentence.
Meanwhile, Winehouse's husband Blake Fielder-Civil appeared at Snaresbrook Crown Court, in East London, charged with assault and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
The 25-year-old denies causing grievous bodily harm with intent to pub landlord James King of Risley, Derbyshire.
He also denies an allegation that he conspired with his alleged victim to pervert the course of justice. Fielder-Civil was remanded in custody and a provisional trial date was set for June 2.
Amy failed to turn up for the hearing - not that Fielder-Civil appeared to notice. He was warned for repeatedly smiling and trying to communicate with a beautiful blonde siting in the public gallery.
He mouthed, "You all right, babe?" and "I love you" to Sophie Schandorff. Fielder-Civil even made a beckoning gesture suggesting she visit him in prison.
Schandorff, 21, also gestured and mouthed back, "I love you, I love you", but was warned to stop by the court clerk.
She later told reporters that Fielder-Civil was a close friend and that the pair had known one another for sometime.

Last night Winehouse showed no sign of curbing her increasingly erratic behaviour.
As soon as her legal team left, she slipped out of her red dress and into her normal scruffy attire to head out with friends at 10pm.
After a quick session in a local pub, The Good Mixer, she headed round the corner to the Made In Brasil restaurant.
