A woman accused of slashing movie star Leonardo Dicaprio at a Hollywood party in 2005 has been arrested in Canada.

Aretha Wilson is being held by Canadian officials for extradition to the U.S, according to a police source. Wilson is alleged to have attacked the Titanic star after approaching him at a party thrown by producer Rick Salomon in four years ago (Jun05).

DiCaprio - who told police he recognized Wilson as a friend's ex-girlfriend - walked away from the 39 year old, who then allegedly hit him in the neck and head with a glass. The attack left DiCaprio needing 17 stitches - 10 to his ear and seven to his neck. An arrest warrant was issued for Wilson a month later (Jul05), on one count of assault with a deadly weapon.

She avoided detection for years, but came to police attention in 2008 when she was found guilty of assaulting her ex-boyfriend Wyatt Cote and was given a suspended sentence and two years probation. Wilson was arrested on Monday (29Jun09). (CL/WNWCCC/MJ)
