Reports: Christian Bale Arrested for Allegedly Assaulting Mother, Sister

July 22, 2008 | Entertainment

The British actor Christian Bale arrives at the European premiere of \LONDON — “The Dark Knight” actor Christian Bale was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly assaulting his mother and sister, according to British media reports.

Earlier Tuesday, the Welsh-born actor was in custody at a central London police station being questioned by officers over the incident, said to have taken place in his hotel suite.

“A 34-year-old man attended a Central London police station this morning and was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault,” a police spokeswoman said, according to the Times of London.

Bale, 34, is alleged to have lashed out in his suite at Park Lane’s Dorchester Hotel on Sunday.

According to Sky News, Bale’s mother Jenny, 61, and sister Sharon, 40, went to police on Monday to make a formal allegation against Bale. The complaint about the actor was then passed to the Metropolitan Police for further investigation.

A police spokeswoman told British media: “A 34-year-old man attended a central London police station this morning by appointment. He was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault. He currently remains in custody.”

Despite the alleged incident and report, Bale was allowed to attend the first European screening of the new Batman blockbuster “The Dark Knight” in London’s West End on Monday night.

Bale was joined on the red carpet by Maggie Gyllenhaal, who plays love interest Rachel Dawes, and Sir Michael Caine, who plays Bruce Wayne’s faithful butler and father figure Alfred.

The film took a record $158.3 million in its opening weekend, overtaking former record-holder “Spider-Man 3.”

Bale seems too in-control of himself and too smart to ever physically go after anyone
