Las Vegas - Actor Christian Slater received stitches for a cut on his head and his wife, Ryan Haddon, was arrested after she was accused of hitting him with a drinking glass during a fight in their Las Vegas hotel room, a spokesperson for the actor said.
Spokesperson Kelly Bush said the actor received nine stitches after the Monday scuffle at the Hard Rock hotel-casino, not 20 stitches as police initially reported.
Slater, 34, was treated at Desert Springs Hospital in Las Vegas, where a hospital spokesperson said she could release no information.
Haddon, a television producer, was taken to the Clark County jail on a misdemeanour battery charge, said Las Vegas police Lt Juanita Goode.
She was released without bail late on Monday, after a mandatory 12-hour detention, Bush said.
The couple married in February 2000. Slater is the star of movies such as Broken Arrow, True Romance and 3000 Miles to Graceland.
