Actor Antony Starr, best known for his role as Homelander in the Amazon Prime series The Boys, has been arrested and given a 12-month suspended sentence after reportedly drunkenly assaulting a chef in Alicante, Spain.

As reported by the Daily Mail, the 46-year-old actor was arrested in the early hours of the morning on 2 March, after police were called to a scene outside a pub. The victim, 21-year-old Bathuel Araujo, told officers that he’d been punched twice and had a glass smashed in his face. He had to be taken to hospital to have four stitches to a wound above his eye.

The victim also claimed that Starr was “very drunk” at the time of the attack, and had threatened him in English, saying: “You don’t know who you’ve messed with, you don’t know who I am and what you’ve done. You’ve committed the mistake of your life and I’m going to look for you. I want to kill you.”

After his arrest, the actor spent two nights in police cells, before appearing in court in Alicante. There, it was agreed that he would avoid jail time on the condition that he doesn’t commit another crime within two years, and that he paid over £4,000 in compensation to the victim within 72 hours.

“A speedy trial ended up taking place and Alicante Court of Investigation Number Nine, acting as a duty court, sentenced the arrested man to 12 months in prison and the payment of a fine of £4,141 for a crime of wounding,” a court official confirmed. “The detainee’s state of drunkenness was taken into account as an extenuating factor. The sentence was the result of an agreement between the state prosecution service and the man who was subsequently convicted. His prison sentence is being suspended on the condition that he doesn’t commit another crime in two years and pays the compensation in the next 72 hours.”
