Watch: Actor Arrested Again; Punch Caught On Tape

24 April 2012 12:00 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Australian actor Matthew Newton, 35, has been arrested for the second time in a month in Miami, making his off-screen bad boy antics more famous than his onscreen roles.

In the most recent incident on April 17, Newton was arrested for punching and shoving a clerk at the Courtyard Marriott in Coconut Grove.

Watch the assault in the above video.

Surveillance video from the hotel showed that after attacking the clerk, Newton sprawled next to his victim on the lobby floor and began rolling around as if he was also in pain.

Barefoot and disheveled, the actor, who starred in "Underbelly: A Tale of Two Cities", "Underbelly," "Queen of the Damned," and "Three Blind Mice," was charged with battery and resisting an officer without violence.

Just days ago on April 6, Newton was arrested in Miami and charged with resisting police and trespassing on property after a warning.

Miami -- Authorities say Australian actor Matthew Newton has been released from a Miami jail following a weekend arrest.

A Miami-Dade County jail official says the 35-year-old Newton was arrested Friday evening on charges of resisting police and trespassing on property after a warning. He was released Saturday evening on $2,000 bond.

Newton has had legal troubles before.

In 2010, Australian "Transformers" actress Rachael Taylor took out a restraining order against then-boyfriend Newton, accusing him of violently assaulting her while the couple were in Rome. He was dropped as host of a new Australian talent series.

In 2007, he pleaded guilty to assaulting then-girlfriend Brooke Satchwell during a breakup argument. Earlier that year, Newton spent 28 days in a Melbourne rehab clinic that specializes in drug and alcohol issues. »
