Christian Bale turned himself in to London police early Tuesday (July 22), after allegations of assault were made against him.
Christian Bale, who was in London to promote the film, was allowed to attend the U.K. premiere at a Leicester Square theater Monday night because he made an appointment to turn himself in the following morning. The alleged incident took place on Sunday night at the actor's hotel, the Dorchester on Park Lane, and according to the BBC, involved Christian Bale's mother Jenny and his sister Sharon, who went to the police in Hampshire to make a report.
A London Metropolitan Police spokesperson said that they would not name anyone arrested or release the details until such time comes that they are taking further action, but he offered the following statement in relation to the Christian Bale arrest: "A 34-year-old man attended a police station in central London by appointment and was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault."
If there's no further action to be taken, the police are expected to release Christian Bale today. If they decide to press charges, Christian Bale will either be given a bail date to return as the police inquiry continues, or if no bail is granted, will continue to be held in custody until he appears before a magistrate court.
At Monday's premiere, Christian Bale said that the movie was a success because it is a "perfect storm."
"The hype has been good, the reviewers have responded, you've got great portrayals, you've got a great cast, and a great director in Christopher Nolan," Christian Bale said. "And of course you've got Heath Ledger giving a fantastic portrayal of the Joker. He deserves all the credit that people are giving him."
Christian Bale was slated to meet with journalists to promote the film further at his hotel on Tuesday. At press time, he was still in police custody.

fit for this blog, seeing as the topic is really kinda about stupid human
tricks. ...

Bale seems too in-control of himself and too smart to ever physically go after anyone
