Actor HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN’s producer brother TOVE CHRISTENSEN has been arrested for felony assault with a deadly weapon.

Christensen, 36, was arrested early on Wednesday morning (02Sep09) after reportedly dragging his girlfriend 30 feet (9.14 metres) as she clung to the side of his car after a heated argument, according to TMZ.com.

Witnesses allege the Shattered Glass producer was behind the wheel when the unidentified woman reached into the vehicle to grab her purse, and Christensen hit the accelerator.

The woman reportedly suffered visible marks on her arm but did not sustain serious injuries.

Christensen, who was arrested at his Los Angeles home, is being held on $30,000 (£20,000) bail.
