In the midst of "The Dark Knight" breaking movie records, Batman's Christian Bale was arrested in London Tuesday. The arrest is a result of assault allegations reportedly made by his own mother and sister.
Bale, 34, allegedly lashed out at his mother Jenny, 61, and sister Sharon, 40, on Sunday at London's Dorchester hotel. The actor was staying at the hotel before Monday's London 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.com "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.
