Police Launch Child Abuse Investigation into Nicolas Cage Arrest

A few days ago, actor Nicolas Cage was arrested in New Orleans, after getting in an altercation with his wife Alice over the address of their rental apartment. Police docs reveal there was much more going on that night – and that Cage’s son was also involved.

As we also informed you at the time, Cage got so intoxicated on a night out that he simply forgot where he, Alice and their son Kal-El lived.

He erroneously believed the rental apartment was at a different address, got into a fight over it with Alice, grabbed her arm to lead her to the place and someone called the police.

Cage was arrested with disturbing the peace and domestic violence, but Alice refused to file a complaint against him, saying it had all been a serious misunderstanding.

Now, new documents reveal that Cage and Alice’s son was also involved – and that he got mildly hurt during the altercation, Radar Online says, citing the police incident report made on the scene.

“At some point, Mr. Cage fell while holding their son. The fall caused the five (5) year old child to suffer a minor abrasion to his left knee, and she [Alice] then recovered the child,” the report reads.

It also includes a testimony from an eyewitness, which puts things into an entirely different perspective: Cage did not fall, he deliberately pulled the child to the ground.

“As Mr. Cage was being transported, Sergeant Smith was approached by Officer Wild who was still on scene, he informed Sergeant Smith that an unknown white male passer-by, who was walking a dog, stated that he observed Mr. Cage pull the male child to the ground by his hand,” the report reads.

As such, Cage is now being investigated for child abuse as well.

“Based upon this information, and Mrs. Cage’s earlier statement, a child abuse detective was notified,” says the report.

Alice did not want to speak about how the boy got his knee injury, and refused to file a complaint, Radar further says.
