Bale, 34, attended a police station after it was reported his mother and sister had reported him to police.
The alleged incident was believed to have taken place on Sunday night at Park Lane's Dorchester Hotel where Bale is staying.
His mother Jenny, 61, and sister Sharon, 40, are said to have gone to a police station in Hampshire to make the allegation, which was subsequently referred to the Metropolitan Police.
A Met Police spokesman said: "A 34-year-old man attended a London Police Station on Tuesday by appointment and was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault.

Don’t worry...Alfred will bail him out.
The curse of The Dark Knight continues...
who did what to whom?
(Yes, I know it's Adam West. I just wanted a Batman "Biff!" or "Pow!" picture)
Now, Now, since he’s a celebrity- He’s fighting his demons.
Ifyou or I did this, we ‘d be rightly called low-life bums.
What kind of trash raises his hand against his own mother?
90% of the scum in US prisons wouldn't do that.
Or . . .
Bale him out.
They probably tried to take his crack pipe.
(I know what everyone will say, but....)
This brings to my mind YET AGAIN:
Which is the chicken, which the egg?
Does acting turn people into amoral, messed-up trainwrecks? Or does it just attract such?
Don't be so sure...the full article makes it sound as though Alfred may no longer be among the living:
The Joker, has been widely tipped by critics, as well as Caine, to receive a posthumous Oscar."
They’ll have to raise Caine to get that award.

Bale seems to be getting very good reviews — but, having said that, about 95% of the accolades for the movie are being directed at Heath Ledger. On the one hand, I’m sure Christian Bale shares in everyone’s high regard for Ledger’s portrayal of the Joker. On the other hand, I bet Bale is sort of thinking “But I’m supposed to be the star, darn it!” Perhaps it eats at him.
Sorry to hear about this. One of my favorite actors.
Basing my opinion on being related to a Broadway performer and having plenty of experience with the theater folks in my undergrad years (as an accident of campus geography), I'd have to say it's a bit of both. Actors, by definition, earn their livings in a world of fantasy and make-believe. Those who come to it well grounded in reality seem to stay fairly stable, but those who come to acting with a weak or poorly developed moral compass will generally be hopeless, although on occasion, some shock of reality will hit them and get their attention.
