Police arrested a singer on racism charges after a man reportedly of Chinese descent complained about his performance of the song “Kung Fu Fighting,” according to reports.
….
Ledger told The Sun that police called him later that evening — while he was eating at a Chinese restaurant — to arrange a meeting. It was at that meeting that police arrested him, Ledger said.

The BBC report said police released Ledger after his arrest, intending to question him further at a later date.

“An investigation into this allegation is continuing to establish the full circumstances surrounding what happened,” a Hampshire Constabulary spokesman told the network.

“I thought it was a joke but they were serious,” Ledger told The Sun. “They seemed pretty amazed but said the law is the law and it was their duty. It’s political correctness gone potty (a British term for crazy).”
