Axl Rose Arrested In Stockholm For Attacking A Security Guard

The Associated Press reports: Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose was arrested in Stockholm early this morning (June 27) after allegedly biting a security guard in the leg outside his hotel, police said.

Rose, who performed in the Swedish capital last night, was being held on suspicion of attacking and threatening the guard, as well as causing damage to the Berns Hotel where the alleged scuffle took place, police spokeswoman Towe Hagg said.

Hagg said Rose was intoxicated during the confrontation, which broke out around 8 a.m., and would face questioning after he sobers up. "He was deemed too intoxicated to be questioned right away," she said. A prosecutor will then decide whether to press charges against him, Hagg said.

It was unclear what caused the fight, but Swedish tabloids said the guard tried to intervene when Rose started arguing with a woman in the hotel lobby.

Fredrik Nylen, one of the police officers who helped arrest Rose, was quoted by the daily Aftonbladet Web site as saying that the singer acted aggressively toward police and had to be "handcuffed and restrained" in the hotel. "He kept a high profile, so to speak," Nylen was quoted as saying.

Guns N' Roses played a concert in Stockholm's Globe Arena last night, and had been partying at a well-known night club before the scuffle, Aftonbladet said.

I hope he wasn't foaming at the mouth as well they should test him for rabies animals normally have a quarentine period so should AXL.With all the moving around of football fans in europe at the moment an outbreak of rabies would spread like wildfire.it would be impossible to contain.Maybe they should cull AXL for the greater good of all us europeans.It's better than MADNESS AND DEATH.lol !!

I second post number 2...there's not too many 80's hard rock/hair metal bands I can stomach. Another great move by Axl the twat....and what was he doing with his mouth down by the guard's/officer's legs? I guess with Axl...there's no where to go but down [especially when you're as sh**faced as he gets].

ALL WRONG !!!!!!!.If it were not for those original & eventually secondary memember's(not includeing Dizzy)Axl would be a burnt out drug addict or working at BED BATH & BEYOND.

Once upon a time Axl Rose fronted one of the planets BIGGEST hard rock bands. I wish he could get over whatever he needs to get over and get back on track. Appetite for destruction is still selling copies to this day. I got the chance to see Guns n Roses and Metallica play on the Guns/metallica tour. I loved it. I hope to see the Axl we all used to respect come back to us one day.
