"We had a great gig in Stockholm and I am not going to let this incident spoil that," Rose said in a statement, according to MTV News. "My assistant Beta and I were talking in the lobby of the hotel when security started to give us a hard time. My only concern was to make sure she was OK."Looks like the drama is starting. The old rock and roll machine has been turned on and the fans are going wild. How do I know? Not that I have some great way to measure, but I went into the Soundwaves music store on Montrose in Houston and what were they playing over the PA? Guns N' Roses. What was the guy next to me buying? Appetite for Destruction and both Use Your Illusion CDs.
Hagg said Rose got into an altercation with a woman at the hotel's bar around 8 a.m., and when a hotel security guard tried to stop the fight, Rose attacked him.
"He bit him on the leg and then the hotel staff called the police and we came and apprehended him," Hagg told MTV News. During the brawl, an enraged Rose broke one of the hotel's mirrors, but due to the ongoing investigation, Hagg could not give details on what Rose said to the arresting officers that could land him a charge of threatening a police official. That crime is punishable by jail time, but it is not likely Rose would be incarcerated in this case.
"He was drunk, and in the police station they took him to a cell to sleep for a few hours," Hagg said.
