Batman star Christian Bale was today arrested over claims he attacked his mother and sister before appearing at the launch of his new blockbuster film.
The 34-year-old actor is alleged to have lashed out at mother Jenny, 61, and sister Sharon, 40, in his suite at Park Lane’s Dorchester Hotel on Sunday.
The two women, who live in Dorset, went to a Hampshire police station yesterday to make their allegations formally.
Officers at Scotland Yard were then passed the complaint and Bale voluntarily attended a police station this morning.
Speaking from an upstairs window of her home in Bournemouth, Sharon would only say it was a “family matter”.
Bale spent several hours in custody at Belgravia police station in central London before being released on police bail this afternoon. He was driven away from the police station, and a pack of photographers, in a silver people carrier, and returned to the Dorchester.
Earlier, a Scotland Yard spokesman said: “We can confirm we have received an allegation from another force in relation to an alleged incident in central London.
“A 34-year-old man attended a central London police station this morning by appointment and was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault.”

I read the article, but I don’t see any mention of drug use in it, unless I missed it.

I just call my people carrier a CAR.
He sounds like a real punk....not surprising to hear that he's a junkie.
He looks sixty-four.
At any rate I'd rather spit on him than watch him "act".
