French actor Samy Naceri has been charged with assault over the stabbing of a man in a Paris bar.

Naceri, 47, was charged on Sunday with assault causing physical injury, escaping the more serious charge of attempted homicide, judicial officials said.

The Indigenes (Days of Glory) star was at the central Paris bar to meet his ex-girlfriend and her pal when a heated argument broke out between Naceri and the two women. They retreated to the toilets, where they called in help from an unnamed male friend.

The actor is accused of pulling a switchblade on the man after being confronted about the altercation.

Naceri, a self-confessed alcoholic, returned home to his apartment after the incident, but was arrested by police on Thursday evening and held in custody at a Paris hospital, where he was undergoing treatment for liver problems.

The stabbing victim suffered a sliced vein and is reportedly recovering from his injury.

Naceri has been detained and is pending trial. »
