Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose was arrested in Stockholm early on Tuesday morning after allegedly biting a security guard in the leg at his hotel, police have said.

Rose - who performed in the Swedish capital on Monday evening - was held in jail by prosecutors on suspicion of attacking and threatening the guard.

He was also held on suspicion of causing damage to the Berns Hotel where the alleged scuffle took place, police spokeswoman Towe Hagg announced.

Rose could be kept in jail until Friday, when prosecutors must decide whether to ask a court to order him remanded in custody, Hagg said.

Guns N' Roses were scheduled to perform in Norway's capital Oslo on wednesday, but it was unclear whether the concert would be cancelled, Catarina Oscarsson, a spokeswoman said for concert organiser Ema Telstar.

Oscarsson said the band was not travelling with a media spokesperson and would not comment on the arrest.

Hagg said Rose was intoxicated during the confrontation, which broke out shortly before 7am, and was not questioned by police until after he sobered up. Source>>>
