Manu Bennett has been arrested for an alleged assault at Comic Con.
The actor who also played the evil Orc Azog in the Hobbit trilogy has been arrested for assault while attending the event in Texas.
Arrow star Bennett was held by police on a misdemeanour assault charge after allegedly punching a man in the face at a hotel party.
The 45-year-old had been appearing at the Alamo City convention as a celebrity guest after finding fame playing the Orc character in the hit film trilogy, as well as high profile roles in Spartacus and Arrow.
According to court records he was arrested at 6am on Sunday and released several hours later after a £1,050 bond was posted.
It is understood the altercation with the 29-year-old man happened at the Grand Hyatt hotel in San Antonio.
A San Antonio Police Department spokesman confirmed they had been called to an “assault in progress” at the hotel.
Apart from the appearing in the Hobbit Bennett has also starred as a gladiator in the US TV series Spartacus.
Comic Con's are attended by fans of science fiction who often dress up as their favourite characters while there.
