Star Held On 'Snapper Attack'

Jude Law has been arrested after allegedly attacking a photographer outside his London home.

The Hollywood star is said to have attempted to grab the snapper's camera in the alleged incident yesterday.

Law, 34, was bailed to return to a London police station in October.

A police spokesman said: "A 34-year-old man from Maida Vale was arrested yesterday on suspicion of actual bodily harm after voluntarily attending a London police station.

"The arrest followed an allegation of assault yesterday at a residential address in Maida Vale.

"The 34-year-old man was released on bail to a date in October pending further inquiries."

Law's spokesman was unavailable for comment.

The actor, ex-husband of Sadie Frost, recently returned from the Venice Film Festival.

There, he promoted his new movie Sleuth, in which he co-stars with Sir Michael Caine.

The remake is in competition for the Golden Lion prize for best film in Venice.

In April, actor Hugh Grant was arrested for allegedly hurling a tin of baked beans at a photographer near his London home.

The CPS said it was "not in the public interest" to prosecute the star.
