Last updated at 14:30 31 May 2005
Actor Christian Slater was arrested in New York today after allegedly sexually harassing a woman on the street, police said.
He was taken into custody in Manhattan after police received a call saying he had attacked a female pedestrian.
"Basically he felt a girl's butt," a New York Police Department spokesman said. "He was arrested at 2am and charged with sexual harassment and is now in court."
The 35-year-old was reportedly "intoxicated" at the time of his arrest and told police he had not done anything as he was led away in handcuffs.
Police said they had responded to a call from someone else, and not the woman who was allegedly attacked.
Slater is currently appearing in the Broadway production of Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie.
