LONDON, England -- Christian Bale, star of the record-breaking "The Dark Knight," has been arrested by police in London who are investigating claims he assaulted his sister and mother, according to London's Press Association.

"A 34-year-old man attended a central London police station this morning by appointment. He was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault," a spokesperson for the London police station told Access Hollywood. "He currently remains in custody."

Bale was released after spending four hours at a London police station, according to the Associated Press.

Bale allegedly lashed out at this sister and mother in his hotel suite at Park Lane's Dorchester Hotel on Sunday.

The actor was arrested hours after he attended the London premiere of "The Dark Knight."

The British paper, The Sun, claimed police did not question the actor Monday
because they did not want to interfere with the premiere.

It could be a greedy, money hungry family. It could also be that he has 'shunned' them and they want 'revenge' of a sort. Regardless, it is plublicity for him, the movie, and his family. But really, who cares?

My cousin left me a voicemail telling me he had been arrested, and I almost cried. Christian's been someone I looked up to for a long time now, and I'm really hoping there's some explanation. I just really can't see him assaulting anyone...
