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

Staff at The Dorchester, in Park Lane, London called police after the 49-year-old star began screaming and shouting uncontrollably.

He became famous after playing psychopathic gangster Mr Blonde in Quentin Tarantino's 1992 hit Reservoir Dogs.

The actor 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 year before being picked for Reservoir Dogs, Madsen appeared alongside Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis in Thelma and Louise.

In recent years, he has been in films including Sin City, Donnie Brasco and both Kill Bill episodes - reuniting him with Tarantino.
