South Actor Vineeth Thattil was arrested in Thrissur on Tuesday for allegedly assaulting a man from Alappuzha, Kerala police said.
Police said Thattil (45) was arrested for assaulting Alappuzha-native Alex on July 24 that led to the latter getting hospitalised.
A case under Section 308 (attempt to commit culpable homicide) of the Indian Penal Code was registered against Thattil, police said.
