HOLLYWOOD - Hollywood actor Russell Crowe hopes the man he injured during analtercation at a New York City hotel in the early hours of June 6
will accept his apologies.
Crowe lost his temper with night porter Nestor Estrada at the
Mercer Hotel after Estrada reportedly failed to connect the Crowe's phone call
to his family in Australia. He threw his room's telephone against a wall which
police say inflicted minor injuries on Estrada's face in the process.
Although Crowe maintains he did not intend to hurt Estrada, he accepts full
responsibility for the results of his hot-headed actions and hopes his victim
can find it in himself to accept his apology.
On June 8, Crowe told chat show host David Letterman, "(It
is) possibly the most shameful situation I've ever gotten myself in in my life.
And I've done some pretty dumb things in my life. So to actually make a new
number one is spectacularly stupid.
"Hopefully at some stage, I'll be able to apologize directly to Nestor. But
at the moment, he's not answering his phone."
Crowe has been charged with second degree assault and possession of a weapon--the phone. He has been ordered to return in September.
