Reservoir Dogs star taken to hospital after hotel bust-up

Hollywood actor Michael Madsen was admitted to hospital after becoming embroiled in a row with a woman at a top London hotel.

Staff at The Dorchester, in Park Lane, called police after the 49-year-old star, who played psychopathic gangster Mr Blonde in Quentin Tarantino's 1992 hit Reservoir Dogs, began screaming and shouting uncontrollably. He was restrained and led out to an ambulance. Doctors treated him for bruises and cuts.

Madsen, in London for the filming of The Big I Am, checked into the hotel on Saturday with a woman described as his wife and a five-year-old girl.

A source said: "He was apparently totally out of it when he turned up. Then on Sunday afternoon there was a massive disturbance in his room. A guest complained that all hell was breaking loose. There was a lot of screaming and shouting and staff called the police. He had a furious row with his woman companion and it was feared they might hurt each other. He was not violent but there were concerns about his behaviour." A police spokesman said no arrests were made.

Madsen has been married to his third wife, Deanna Morgan, since 1996.
