Boy George has been arrested by police after a man alleged the singer chained him up at his London flat.

Norwegian Auden Carlsen says he visited the star�s Shoreditch home at midnight on Friday after agreeing to pose for photographs in exchange for money.

The 28-year-old � who says he made the arrangement over Gaydar networking website � alleges that as soon as he entered the property he was grabbed by George and another man and shackled to a wall.

Carlsen tells The Mirror, �I was convinced I was going to die. George handcuffed me to a hook by the bed as they held me down."

Carlsen claims to have fled the flat in his underwear after managing to wrench the hook from the wall.

A police spokesperson says, �We investigated reports of an alleged forced imprisonment and common assault made by a 28-year-old man. A man in his 40s was arrested in connection with the investigation."
