    Russell Crowe arrested at NY hotel

    Monday, June 6, 2005 Posted: 6:55 AM EDT (1055 GMT)

    NEW YORK (CNN) -- Hollywood star Russell Crowe has been arrested in New York and charged with assault for allegedly throwing a telephone that struck a hotel employee in the face, according to police.

    Officers said the New Zealand-born actor, currently starring in "Cinderella Man," is expected to appear in Manhattan Criminal Court later on Monday.

    "He was upset because he couldn't get a call out to Australia," said Sgt. Michael Wysokowski. "He threw a phone at the employee hitting him in the face and causing a minor laceration."

    The incident took place early Monday at SoHo's Mercer Hotel.

    Police said the victim was taken to St.Vincent's Hospital. Crowe was taken to a police station were he was charged with second degree assault.

    Crowe was in New York promoting his latest movie, "Cinderella Man," a biopic based on the life of world heavyweight champ James J. Braddock, which opened in theaters last weekend.

    According to Nielsen the movie ranked fourth place in theaters and grossed $18.6 million.

    Crowe, who won an Oscar for Best Actor in 2001 for playing Maximus in "Gladiator," has often been in the news for off-stage incidents.

    At the 2002 Bafta Awards in Britain, he admitted to being "abusive" and "behaving unreasonably" towards a TV producer.

    And later that year he was spoken to by police after an alleged brawl with a New Zealand businessman in a London restaurant.

    The 41-year-old actor married singer and actress Danielle Spencer in 2003.

                Isaw him there. Maybe you would know,

                Why did Hatton, at the end of the fight, put on a shirt that said:

                "There's only 1 Ricky Fatton."?

                ACK!
                Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

                  He puts a *A LOT* of weight on inbetween fights and gets *A LOT* of abuse for it from (mainly) American fight fans, so when he turns up for interviews to promote his fights he doesn't look anything like a boxer. He fights at 140lbs but walks around at closer to 170.

                  Ricky Fatton is one of the terms of abuse the USA boxing fans have for him, the T-shirt was just a "f$%k you" to them.

                      Something like this could end his career. Throwing a phone into the face of an employee simply because Crowe couldn't make an overseas call? Sounds like a two-year-old with a temper tantrum. God help us if he isn't happy with his purchase of Ginzu knives.

                        Sounds very stupid of him, but let's face it. There are people who need to be hit with a phone once in a while. I give him the benefit of the doubt before I can judge how annoying that POS worker was. All I'm saying is, he deserved it, unless it is proven otherwise.

                          Seems to happen a lot to Mr Crowe though don't it?

                          I'd guess the the guy is a genuine, grade A pr1ck

                            yeah seems to be the case. However I don't underestimate the amount of pr1cks he has to deal with every single day. Yeah it doesn't make it right, but I bet he has to deal with genuine punks every day and everyone of them is asking to be phoned. So it happens every once in a while then too.

                              He was in NYC. Probably more than one person being a pr1ck in that situation.
                              I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
