CNN.com - Axl Rose held for biting guard

Oh how the mighty have fallen.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) — Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose was arrested in Stockholm early Tuesday after allegedly biting a security guard in the leg outside his hotel, police said.

Rose — who performed in the Swedish capital on Monday evening — 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 told The Associated Press that Rose was intoxicated during the confrontation, which broke out around 8 a.m. (0600 GMT), 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 also 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 Monday night, and had been partying at a well-known night club before the scuffle, Aftonbladet said.

The race is on to keep humans one step ahead of robots: an international team of scientists and academics is to publish a “code of ethics” for machines as they become more and more sophisticated. Dilemmas may arrive sooner than we think, says Henrik Christensen. “People are going to be having sex with robots within five years”.
