The actor was restrained and led out to an ambulance. Doctors treated him for bruises and cuts.

Madsen, in London for the filming of The Big I Am, checked into the hotel on Saturday with a woman described as his wife and a five-year-old girl.

A source said: 'He was apparently totally out of it when he turned up. Then on Sunday afternoon there was a massive disturbance in his room.

'A guest complained that all hell was breaking loose. There was a lot of screaming and shouting and staff called the police.

'He had a furious row with his woman companion and it was feared they might hurt each other. He was not violent but there were concerns about his behaviour.'

A year before being picked for Reservoir Dogs, Madsen appeared alongside Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis in Thelma and Louise.
