Nicolas Cage was arrested for allegedly pushing his wife during a drunken row.
Police in New Orleans say witnesses saw the 47-year-old actor—who appeared "heavily intoxicated"—arguing with Alice Kim in the early hours of yesterday morning (April 16).
The couple were outside a house in the French Quarter which Nicolas said they were renting. But when Alice told him the property was not the one they were staying in, the actor reportedly grabbed her arm and started hitting cars before shouting at a police officer.
