Actor Christian Slater , 35, was taken into custody in an Upper East Side neighborhood of Manhattan after police responded to a call from a woman who said she had been attacked while walking, said New York Police Sgt. Mary Doherty.
"Basically he grabbed a woman's behind on the street," said Doherty, adding Slater was "intoxicated at the time."
"The victim, a stranger, was at a bodega buying a soda when he grabbed and squeezed her buttocks. His girlfriend yelled 'Stop. What are you doing?' The defendant walked away," said assistant district attorney Vanessa Puzio at Slater's bail hearing.
Slater has been charged with third degree sexual abuse and is being held at the 19th precinct in Manhattan.
Slater has starred in films such as "Interview with the Vampire," released in 1994, 1996's "Broken Arrow," and "Heathers" in 1989.
