Batman star Christian Bale arrested on assault allegations

LONDON, England (AP) -- Batman star Christian Bale was arrested Tuesday over allegations of assaulting his mother and sister, police and British media said.

British media had reported that Bale's mother and sister complained they were assaulted by the 34-year-old actor at the Dorchester Hotel in London on Sunday night, a day before the European premiere of his latest film, "The Dark Knight."

The women made the allegation at a local police station in southern England on Monday, Britain's Press Association news agency said.

Asked whether Bale had been arrested, a police spokesman did not refer to him by name but said: "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."

He said the man was still in custody but gave no further details.

The spokesman spoke on condition of anonymity because force policy did not authorize him to be identified. British police do not name suspects before they are formally charged.

U.S.-based representatives for Bale didn't immediately return messages seeking comment. Repeated phone calls to Bale's London representative went unanswered.

The Sun newspaper said police didn't question the actor Monday because they didn't want to interfere with the premiere of the movie.

Wales-born Bale first made a splash as the child star of Steven Spielberg's "Empire of the Sun" in 1987.

His screen credits also include "American Psycho," "The Machinist" and "Batman Begins."

In "The Dark Knight," Bale reprises the role of wealthy playboy Bruce Wayne and his crime-fighting alter-ego Batman, a brooding vigilante superhero still scarred by the murder of his parents.

The film, which stars the late Heath Ledger as Batman's nemesis The Joker, took in a record $158.4 million at the box office in its opening weekend in the U.S. last week.

My understanding is that because of their sometimes packed schedules that include cross continental travel they call ahead and confirm they are aware the police want them and that they are not trying to run etc...so they say they will hand themselves over etc. where/when decided with the police.
I'm pretty sure you can do it too if say the Vancouver police want you but you're in Calgary. You can call and say you're in Calgary and back in Vancouver at such and such a time tomorrow and will turn yourself over to police right away etc.
Saves them from having to have you found and arrested in Calgary and then transported back. You pay instead of them.

At least that's what I understand from the few people I know that at one time or another have had the police interested in them. I've been know to be wrong as they have yet to find interest in me.

Let me explain. Your friend: Oh know! The authorities need for me questioning about an unfortunate incident. I must call them right away and let them know I'll be right down! My friend: Holy BefreakinJesus! The cops are after me. Is that a helicopter outside? How far is it to the next state line? Do you have any extra cash I can borrow? Can we switch license plates or can I take your car? By the way, you haven't seen me in weeks.... I'm just saying....

I would think that would be a reason that they let him walk in, and walk right back out.
