Farrell stabs co-star during filming

According to reports, Colin Farrell has accidentally stabbed his co-star Gary Stretch while filming 'Alexander The Great'.

He punctured Stretch's protective padding, cutting him in the stomach, during filming for one of the climactic fight scenes.

Stretch, a former boxer, was taken to Wexham Park hospital in Slough for treatment, but has since returned to work.

Stretch said: "It was a very minor wound. It's one of those movies where these kinds of things happen. We've all had a few bangs and scratches."

The Oliver Stone film also stars Angelina Jolie, Anthony Hopkins and Val Kilmer and it is due out in November.
