Surveillance video at The Dream hotel in NYC shows the guy who claims Lindsay Lohan struck him is grossly exaggerating his claim at the very least .... TMZ has learned.
Sources connected to the hotel tell us ... the video shows the entire incident and the aftermath. Lindsay was driving into the hotel, down a ramp. The alleged victim was walking in the pedestrian path, which Lindsay had to cross.
The video shows Lindsay's car -- which is traveling at a crawl -- gets very close to the pedestrian but it's unclear if the vehicle makes contact. In fact, sources tell us ... 2 detectives came to the hotel early this morning and viewed the tape. One detective felt Lindsay's car "grazed" the back of the alleged victim's leg, but the other detective felt the car never made contact.
And it gets better. Once Lindsay clears the area and goes down a ramp, the video shows the alleged victim sprinting after her. The video shows the alleged victim does not get real close to Lindsay, and it doesn't appear that he confronted her, but it appears when he got down there he noticed it was Lindsay -- partly because she had drawn a crowd near the entrance to the club.
When Lindsay gets out of the car at the bottom of the ramp, she does not seem flustered or aware she may have hit someone.
Here's where it gets confusing. For some reason, Lindsay decided to leave the club minutes after arriving, got back in her car and left for a short time ... then came back.
Meanwhile, the alleged victim called 911 and was taken to the hospital by ambulance.
I wouldn't say falsely arrested just yet. But it seems like this is just a grossly, over-dramatic incident that's only a big deal because it's Lindsey.

She was arrested for "leaving the scene of a crime". No crime took place.

God, she was just starting to get her **** together and you have scum like this asshole trying to ruin it for her. But for her own good, she REALLY needs to invest in a personal driver and never drive again.
My question is: Why people trying to get money from this girl when it's been known that she is having major issues with money? They are trying to get cash from someone has hardly has any, oop.

Because she's Lindsay Lohan. Not only money, but they get their fifteen minutes of fame. And FYI, she has just done three films so i'm sure she has money in the bank. Way more than you.
that guy.
