NEW YORK (AP) - The actor Russell Crowe was arrested Monday morning for allegedly throwing a telephone at an employee of the Manhattan hotel where he was staying, police said.

Crowe, 41, who plays a boxer in his latest film "Cinderella Man," allegedly threw the phone at the Mercer Hotel employee, striking him in the face, during an argument at around 4:20 a.m., said police spokesman Sgt. Mike Wysokowski.

The Australian movie star was arrested and charged by police with second degree assault, Wysokowski said. Crowe was expected to appear in Manhattan Criminal Court later on Monday.

An employee who answered the phone at the Mercer Hotel in SoHo said he was unaware of the incident.

Crowe won the Academy Award for best actor for "Gladiator" in 2001.

What a punk. I wish he'd throw a phone at me, so I could kick his pansyass!

Guy's 6 foot, 2 hundo. Just finished a ton of boxing lessons for this movie and he was a rugby player in his youth.

He's probably one of the few Hollyweirdos who could put up a real fight.

Another "admired" artist who self-destructs by revealing his true self.
Why do actors believe that they are indispensable, necessary, or in any way yseful?

That they were considered one step below barnyard animals in medieval times is an accurate reflection of their true worth.

I wonder what happend to change things in the minds of so many contemporary normal persons?

Russell Crowe South Park ping!

I agree he might put up a good fight, but that would make it more fun!

[pissant]

Too much booze, I'm guessing.

[claudiustg]

Is there even a 0.0001% chance he'll see jail time?

allegedly threw the phone

Gladiators don't throw phones

[pissant]

Not unless he killed the guy with the phone. Then he'd have a 5% chance of seeing a day in jail.

[pissant]

Sounds pretty womanly to me. Almost Hillary-esque.

He's probably one of the few Hollyweirdos who could put up a real fight.

I'd have pissant's back then

[pissant]

Thanks! I may need it!

[Millee]

I wish I were there too. That would mean I was in a hotel room with him! ;)

[pissant]

LOL. You bad girl! ;o)

[Horatio Gates]

LOL. Crowe is a typical dolt actor imo. The hotel employee probably asked a drunk Crowe a question and he was frustrated because he didn't have a script for the reply.

For second degree assault?

OJ Simpson's free.
Robert Blake's free.
But they only killed their wives...

Drinking "adult beverages" leads to lots of problems for many.
