Dark Knight star Christian Bale was arrested Monday on allegations of assault against his mother and sister. The event allegedly happened in Bale's Dorchester Hotel room, where he was staying for his blockbuster film's premier in London.

Bale's 61-year-old mother, Jenny, and 40-year-old sister, Sharon, filed charges with police Sunday night. On Monday morning Bale appeared in a central London police station for questioning, where he was held and questioned for about four hours. He was then released from police custody on bail.

His answers to the questions about the incident apparently satisfied the police, as no police charges against Bale have been filed. His attorneys stated that he denies the assault allegations and cooperated fully. He will now continue on The Dark Knight publicity tour, as planned.

Media interviews from this point on just got more interesting.
