Dark Knight star Christian Bale is denying allegations he assaulted his 61-year-old mother and 40-year-old sister.

"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," the star's attorneys said in statement released Tuesday.

"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," the statement continued.

"At this time, there will be no further comment by Mr. Bale."

London's Daily Telegraph reported that Bale was held by London police for four hours.

He is to return to the station in September pending further inquiries.

The incident allegedly occurred at a west London hotel on Sunday. His mother and sister went to police on Monday.

A police spokesman who declined to identify Bale, 34 told the paper: "A 34-year-old man attended a London Police Station on Tuesday by appointment and was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault. He remains in custody."

Bale appeared to be undeterred by the news at Monday's premiere of The Dark Knight in London.
