Christian Bale accused of assaulting his mother and sister

Batman's Christian Bale was arrested in London Tuesday, following 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, where the actor was staying before Monday's U.K. 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. "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.

Monday – the morning after the alleged incident – Bale appeared on GMTV, a U.K. morning show. Bloggers called the actor grumpy, but a GMTV spokesman told PEOPLE, "He didn't seem on edge."

I suppose we'll know what really happened, but why would such an intelligent man feel the need to "lash out" at women? Such a terrible thing to do.

It's likely all blown out of proportion and/or misreported though, "According to Britain's The Sun newspaper," sounds off the BS alarm bells.

Adam West is still the best.

Anyway, I have no clue what happened, so I dont feel the need to defend his actions, but some people deserve a slapping at times, regardless if they're women or not.

If his sister is anything like mine, I hope he knocked her out.
