AP, Dec 9, 2007 5:33 pm PSTOne of Liza Minnelli's crew members was detained by police in Stockholm late Saturday on suspicion of beating up a photographer who was filming the singer's performance, police said.
Minnelli, 61, was performing in Sweden as part of the gala event "A Classic Christmas Night," alongside a string of Swedish artists.
Police spokesman Gunnar Samuelsson told The Associated Press the man was suspected of beating up and threatening the photographer.
