NEW YORK –  It was a hair-raising experience for actor Hugh Jackman at a New York City gym.

Radio station 1010 WINS says Jackman was working out in a gym Saturday morning in Manhattan's West Village neighborhood when a woman rushed in, crying and shouting that she loved him.

The "X-Men" star told the radio station on Sunday that the run-in was frightening.

Police say 47-year-old Kathleen Thurston pulled out a razor filled with hair and threw it at him, then fled and was arrested several blocks from the gym. Jackman wasn't hurt.

Thurston is charged with stalking and awaits arraignment. It's unclear whether she has a lawyer.

Police say she has gone near the victim and his family before.

Former world No.1 tennis player Jennifer Capriati has been charged after police said she punched her ex-boyfriend on Valentine's Day while he was working out at a gym.

Palm Beach County court records show Capriati was charged by prosecutors on Wednesday.

The 36-year-old has been issued a summons to appear before a judge on April 17 on stalking and battery charges, though she has not been arrested. No lawyer for Capriati was listed.

North Palm Beach police say Ivan Brannan was working out when Capriati approached him and yelled at him.

Brannan told police that he tried to get away by walking to the men's locker room, but Capriati blocked his path and punched him in the chest.

Brannan told police he and Capriati, a two-time Australian Open champion broke up in 2012 and that she has harassed and stalked him since then.
