Batman’s Christian Bale arrested
Batman's Christian Bale was arrested in London Tuesday, following assault allegations reportedly made by his own mother and sister, PEOPLE informs.
Bale, 34, allegedly lashed out at his mother Jenny, 61, and sister Sharon, 40, on Sunday at London's Dorchester hotel, where the actor was staying before Monday's U.K. premiere of ”The Dark Knight.”
According to Britain's The Sun newspaper, Bale's mother and sister went to a police station in Hampshire Monday, which turned the case over to London officers.
“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," a police spokesman told PEOPLE. "He is currently in custody.”
It is a policy in England to arrest a suspect before questioning him in connection to a possible crime. Bale has not been formally charged, therefore the police did not release his name.
Bale is scheduled to be in Barcelona Thursday for the record-breaking film's Spanish-language premiere.
