The 54-year-old actor's latest arrest in downtown Los Angeles
came after an altercation that left visible marks on the victim,
who was not identified, Los Angeles police spokesman Tony Im
said by phone.
A spokesman for Sizemore declined to comment on his arrest.
Sizemore was held in jail in lieu of bail of $50,000, according
to an Los Angeles County inmate record.
He is best known for two high-profile supporting roles in war
movies - as the hard-boiled sergeant at Tom Hanks' side in
1998's "Saving Private Ryan," and as a lieutenant colonel with
uncanny calm under fire in 2001's "Black Hawk Down."
In recent years, Sizemore had recurring roles in a number of
major television shows, including the reboot of "Hawaii Five-O,"
in which he played a police captain from 2011-12.
He has been cast in a recurring role on the USA Network drama
"Shooter." The show, starring Ryan Phillippe as an expert
marksman, was due to begin airing this summer.
But following a number of deadly mass shootings, including most
recently the killing on Sunday of three police officers and
wounding of three others by an assailant armed with a rifle in
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the network on Monday said it was moving
the show to the fall season.
Sizemore in 2003 was convicted of beating and threatening
ex-girlfriend and former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss. He later
was sentenced to about six months in jail, according to media
reports at the time.
Sizemore has since been arrested a number of times on
drug-related charges.
