And Leo strikes back…with a police report, that is.

People magazine has reported that Leonardo DiCaprio has filed a report with Los Angeles police, saying that he was attacked with a deadly weapon while attending a Beverly Hills party given last week by Paris Hilton’s ex-boyfriend, Rick Salomon.

The former Titanic hottie, 30, contacted LAPD’s Hollywood division Monday afternoon to file the complaint. The attacker ? said to be a woman ? has not been identified.

“The incident occurred during the early morning hours of June 17 when Mr. DiCaprio was attending a party at the home of a friend in Hollywood Hills,” police said in a statement to the magazine. “As a result of the assault, Mr. DiCaprio suffered a laceration to the left side of his neck, requiring several sutures. The investigation is ongoing and no one is in custody at this time.”

DiCaprio was at a party at the home of Salomon around 4 a.m. last Friday, when a woman struck him with what appeared to be a beer bottle, the magazine reported.

DiCaprio’s publicist, Ken Sunshine, sent a statement to the magazine.

“While leaving a small private gathering, Leo was attacked by a woman who was trespassing and had been repeatedly asked to leave the property. The attacker struck him with a glass object before being restrained by witnesses. The woman was reportedly looking for an ex-boyfriend, who she had apparently physically assaulted on prior occasions.”

DiCaprio was taken to a hospital where he had about a dozen stitches to close a wound close to his ear, the magazine reported.

The actor, who is on a break from shooting the Martin Scorcese-directed film The Departed, is expected to return to the set on schedule.
