It was announced later that day by organisers of fan convention Gallifrey One that he would be "unable" to attend the event.
The outlet adds that police in Los Angeles have said that McNally was "held on suspicion of inflicting an injury that caused a traumatic condition on a victim who was his current or former spouse, cohabitant, or child’s parent". Police however are said to have declined to give details of his alleged victim, citing confidentiality rules.

McNally and Logan - who have worked together on ITV's Downton Abbey - are understood to have been married since 2011.
The Mirror has reached out to the LAPD and McNally's reps for comment.
