Frost Behind Bars

Actress** Sadie Frost** is recovering after being accidentally banged up by German police. The star was locked in a cell, denied food and water, and even forced to urinate on the floor after her arrest in Berlin after she got stuck in a lift in the apartment block where actor husband Jude Law was staying. But the police accompanying the fire-fighters who freed her demanded to see some ID, and arrested her when she was unable to produce any - despite her passport being in Law's fifth floor apartment in the building. She says, "I tried to explain but they refused to accompany me to the fifth floor so I could show them. They said I looked slightly intoxicated and I suppose I was, but nothing more. Then they put me in an arm lock, handcuffed me and manhandled me into the back of a police van." Then Frost, who is asthmatic, was then taken to a police station and locked alone in a cell. When she attempted to make a telephone call she was cut off by policemen just as the call was connected. She adds, "There were no facilities at all, not even a bucket. When I was asked to go to the toilet, the guard said I had to go in my cell. It was a humiliating experience. I was then left in the cells until 8.30am, when I was released without charge, or a word of apology." Somewhat bruised by the experience, Sadie is now planning legal action against the police. Meanwhile hubbie Jude Law, about to hit our screens as the spoiled Dickie Greenleaf in The Talented Mr Ripley, is in Germany filming Enemy at the Gates, about a German battle defeat in World War II. The film is proving a controversial project even before completion, stirring up vicious controversy in the country.
