NEW YORK - The actor Russell Crowe was arrested Monday morning for
allegedly
throwing a telephone at an employee of the Manhattan hotel where he was
staying, police said.

Crowe, 41, who plays a boxer in his latest film "Cinderella Man,"
allegedly
threw the phone at the Mercer Hotel employee, striking him in the face,
during an argument at around 4:20 a.m., said police spokesman Sgt. Mike
Wysokowski.

The Australian movie star was arrested and charged by police with
second
degree assault, Wysokowski said. Crowe was expected to appear in
Manhattan
