NEW YORK (AP) - Actor Christian Slater was arrested early Tuesday for allegedly groping a woman on a Manhattan street, police said.
Slater, 35, was accused of touching the woman's buttocks around 1:50 a.m., said a police spokesman, Det. John Sweeney.
The woman, who was not identified, flagged down police to report the incident, Sweeney said. Slater was found nearby and the woman identified him as the man who groped her.
Slater, who is appearing on Broadway in The Glass Menagerie, was arrested on a charge of third-degree sexual abuse. He was expected Tuesday in Manhattan Criminal Court.
Slater starred in the 1980s classic Heathers, as well as True Romance, and Untamed Heart in the 1990s.
In August 1997, he was arrested after he allegedly bit a man in the stomach and threw a police officer against a wall during a rowdy party in Los Angeles. The actor later pleaded no contest to the charges and served 90 days in jail.
He filed for divorce earlier this year from television producer Ryan Haddon. In 2003, Haddon was accused of hitting him with a drinking glass during a fight in their Las Vegas hotel room. She was jailed briefly but no charges were filed.
