London - Four members of a camera crew were arrested at the War of the Worlds premiere in London after soaking Tom Cruise with water.
Tom, at the premiere of the film with his fiancée Katie Holmes, was talking to journalists in Leicester Square when he was squirted with water.
After the incident Tom said: "That's incredibly rude. I'm here giving you an interview and you do that, it's incredibly rude."
The actor held the interviewer until security guards arrived, reports BBC online.
Police said the man was part of the four-man freelance camera crew, who were all arrested.
A Channel 4 spokesperson said: "The incident was for a new Channel 4 entertainment show, part of which involves playing comedy pranks on celebrities and on members of the public.
"The water squirting was not intended to cause offence and was very much in a spirit of fun. We hope Tom Cruise will be able to see the joke in the spirit with which it was intended."
Other celebrities at the premiere include Nell McAndrew and Ulrika Jonsson. - Ananova.com
