The man, in his 30s, complained of being struck. He was taken to Bellevue Hospital for knee injury.
Lohan went into a club at the adjacent Dream Hotel.
After police responded, she came out of the hotel and was arrested just before 2:30 a.m.
She was charged with leaving the scene of an accident.
She was taken to the 10th Precinct, issued a desk appearance ticket and released pending a later court date.
Alchohol is not suspected to be involved in the low-speed crash.
Two other men were in the vehicle with her at the time. They were not charged.
The Porsche is not registered to her.
