Lindsay Lohan almost lost her finger in a boating accident over the weekend.

The 30-year-old actress had to have half of her finger reattached during surgery after she injured herself while trying to anchor a boat.

She shared a video of her injury on Snapchat and wrote: "This is the result of me trying to anchor the boat by myself. My poor finger."

"I almost lost my finger from the anchor. Well, I lost half my finger, thank goodness we found the piece of my finger... I just had surgery to fix it. It hurts so bad."

Meanwhile, Lindsay hit out at her former fiancé Egor Tarabasov in a recent interview, claiming she once feared he would throw acid in her face.

The star split from her 23-year-old fiancé earlier this year after a series of furious rows and Lindsay made the extraordinary claim that she believed she was in danger from him.

In an interview with Russian television's Channel One, Lindsay said: "I went to bed and he broke into my house. He started strangling me.

"I feared that Egor may splash acid in my face.

"I jumped out to the balcony and shouted with all my force, 'He's trying to kill me, call the police!' I am lucky to come to Moscow to speak."

However, Egor has denied all claims, with his spokesman saying: "It has come to my attention that my former fiancée, Lindsay Lohan, is planning new smear campaign against me in the Russian and international media.

"My relationship with Lindsay came to an end in July 2016. In the weeks that followed, there were numerous attempts to discredit my name by inaccurately portraying the nature of our relationship, publishing distorted facts, and making false accusations.

Lindsay Lohan falling for the man who 'saved her'

06 Sep 09:00 AM

"I decided not to address those harmful and false statements at that time. As an international businessman, I aim to maintain a low profile and concentrate on developing my business. I also chose to keep my silence out of respect for Lindsay.

"Today, I would like to state that all accusations made, and about to be made, by Lindsay against me are not true.

"I refuse to be dragged into the media storm created in the aftermath of our breakup. I will not be making any more statements with regards to my former relationship with Lindsay, but I will use all possible legal means to protect my name and reputation."
