The department said a woman alleged "her husband pushed her and locked her out of their residence".

Madsen, who starred in Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill films, was later released from custody on a $20,000 (£15,400) bond. The 66-year-old has not publicly commented on the issue.

"The investigation is ongoing and will be forwarded to the Van Nuys Superior Court House for filing," the sheriff's department said.
