Kinski arrested 'after fight with husband'

ACTRESS Nastassja Kinski has been arrested after allegedly attacking her former husband, Egyptian film producer Ibrahim Moussa.

Both were arrested and booked at Los Angeles's Van Nuys police station for battery. Police reports say Kinski scratched Moussa's face with her fingernails in a brawl which is the latest development in a long-running battle between the couple for custody of their children Aljosha, 14, and Sonia, 12.

Kinski, who has had them baptised Catholics, confronted Moussa in a rage when she discovered he planned to have Aljosha circumcised for religious reasons.

Even if neither want to press charges, they could still find themselves in court. Since the OJ Simpson case, California has instituted a "zero tolerance" policy towards domestic violence.
