Christian Bale was arrested in today in connection with assault charges brought against him by his mother and sister.According to the police report the incident occurred inside his hotel on Sunday, where the actor's mother and sister say he assaulted them.
Bale was brought in for questioning Tuesday because the police did not want to interfere with his Monday movie premiere.
Christian Bale is denying assault allegations made against him by his mother and sister. His attorneys released a statement on Tuesday that reads:
“Christian Bale attended a London police station today, on a voluntary basis, in order to assist with an allegation that had been made against him to the police by his mother and sister. Mr. Bale who denies the allegation, co-operated throughout, gave his account in full of the events in question, and has left the station without any charge being made against him by the police. At this time, there will be no further comment by Mr. Bale.”
Update:
The reported assault occurred when Bale yelled at his mother and sister for insulting his wife. The assault was purely verbal.
A source told the Daily Mail: “Christian was stressed, but he didn’t lay a finger on anyone. Instead, he flew off the handle and cussed his mother. He just got very loud because his mother was saying some very outrageous things about him, and his wife.
“Christian’s attitude is that this was his mother’s fault because she became very provocative in an argument they were having. Things got out of control and he now says he wishes he just left the room.
“Normally Christian would just call a friend and go out to cool off. But he was literally trapped into this confrontation with his mother and sister because there was an army of fans and paparazzi outside.”
