Christian Bale has been released from police custody and is denying his mother and sister's allegations that he assaulted them.

"Christian Bale attended a London police station today, on a voluntary basis, in order to assist with an allegation that had been made against him to the police by his mother and sister," Christian's attorneys said in a statement.

"Mr. Bale who denies the allegation, co-operated throughout, gave his account in full of the events in question, and has left the station without any charge being made against him by the police.

"At this time, there will be no further comment by Mr. Bale."

The Dark Knight's star's mother, Jenny, 61, and Sharon, 40, claimed Christian lashed out at them in a hotel room Sunday night. According to sources, the altercation was the result of an argument over a long-running family disagreement, The Daily Telegraph reports.

The 34-year-old actor was taken into custody for questioning Tuesday morning, but has since been released after a four-hour interrogation. Christian is expected to return to the Belgravia police station in September, pending further inquiry.
