Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose spent most of today in a Stockholm jail cell after allegedly biting a security guard in the leg at his hotel, police said.
Rose – who performed in the Swedish capital yesterday – was arrested early today after 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.
He was released fro jail around 7pm local time, after he admitted to the charges and agreed to pay a fine of 40,000 kronor, Hagg said.
Rose was also ordered to pay 10,000 kronor in damages to the security guard, she said.
He will not be charged with any other crimes, Hagg said. Guns N’ Roses were scheduled to perform in Norway’s capital Oslo tomorrow night.
Concert organiser Ema Telstar spokeswoman Catarina Oscarsson said the band was not travelling with a publicist and would not comment on the arrest.
