Christian Bale was arrested for assault in London today, after allegedly lashing out at his mother and sister Sunday night before Monday's British Dark Knight premiere. Following the supposed incident at Park Lane's Dorchester Hotel where Christian was staying, his mother and sister brought the accusations to the Hampshire police station who referred it to the London police. The police held off on arresting him until today and although Bale remains in custody he has not been formally charged.

Update: Christian has been released from custody and was ordered to return to deal with the matter in September.

Update #2: Christian's rep has released the following statement: "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."

    The source is the Sun, I'm not believing anything until something more reputable comes forward. Also, in England they will arrest you far quicker than they would in the US. You can be arrested just to be questioned on allegations.

    So, who throws rocks first?

    I think Bale is a great, versatile actor and usually those have some serious issues, trying to transform it into some kind of art.

    But seriously, if his Mother and Sister pressed charges it doesn't look so good for him.

    Why so nervous, Christian?

    I'm with Allyace: if The Sun is reporting this I wait for a more reliable source, and even then I still find the story hard to believe.

    At first I was thinking it had to do with money. But we'll have to wait for further details I suppose.

    I wonder what happened... I didn't even know he was born in the UK until this morning..

    I hope this can be sorted out amicably... for your mother and sister to report you to the police on the biggest film tour of his life.. clearly there's not a lot of love going on in that family.... I hope it's not over money.. how tacky!

    Let's not jump to any conclusions. In the UK you have to be arrested just to be questioned. It could be a matter of them having an argument and he threw something towards them. We don't have all the details yet so I am definitely reserving judgment. Or maybe I'm giving him a break because I think he's a great actor. Man, I'm shallow.

    the whole thing just seems very fishy....

    When asked Tuesday about the news reports, Scotland Yard said it was investigating an allegation referred to it by another police force but refused to say whether the incident involved Bale.

    And then they didn't arrest him earlier because they didn't want to mess up the premiere.

    I heard something in the news about his arrest but didn't pay too much attention. I did get a whiff that his sister instigated some sort of argument.

    This sounds so shady to me. I would like a better word used to describe the incident other than "lashed out".

    That's what I'm thinking, cmd. People get crazy when they know others with money and fame.

    He walked into the police station for an appointment, he wasn't dragged out of the premiere. The Sun was the first to report, I would be willing to bet that the other magazines/newspapers are reporting the story so as not to seem behind on the news.

    What does "lashing out" mean? Yelling & screaming? Telling someone to get out? Throwing punches? I will wait for more details to come out. But it'd better be something serious enough for his relatives to report him - otherwise, this is just too shady.

    Mother that presses charges because her son lashed out!????
    Man, how many people then would need to be arrested for lashing out at their Mom!!!!??? (I am refering to the BBC report).
    Did they want their 15mns of fame?? Or was it payback 'cause they wanted to walk the red carpet at the premier and he said NO!???
    Anyhow I guess will have to wait for more info!

    Oh wow, that's rough. Your movie's breaking records and your own mother and sister reports you to the police, simultaneously.

    I still can't say anything conclusive though, I wonder what really happened. Like the rest of you, I need more details.

    It is quite possible that he got angry and threw something at them. I am going to have to wait and find out what really happened before I come to any conclusion about his character.

    "people get crazy when they know people with money"

    lol, are you kidding? This was a person that his mother created and carried around for 9 months, not to mention raise from a baby. I think it goes a little deeper than just "knowing" Bale. I'm sorry, but I do think something very inappropriate happened. The mother will probably recant though after someone tells her it could ruin her son's career.

    if he truly did "lash out" then he must have done some pretty hectic lashing out for them to report him to the police.
    its all over skynews now too.

    Think I'll reserve judgement until there is at least ONE detail beyond that he's talking to the police released.

    Of course it's being reported everywhere. His latest movie had the biggest opening weekend of all time. There would have been a new report if he'd farted in public, for goodness sake.
