Charlie Sheen was briefly hospitalised on Tuesday after security at the Plaza Hotel called police to report he was disorderly and had broken furniture in his room, police said.
His publicist blamed an allergic reaction to medication, and said the actor was discharged on Tuesday evening and on his way back to Los Angeles.
Sheen appeared highly intoxicated when officers arrived at his room around 1.30am, and a woman with him said they had been out drinking and partying that night, according to a law enforcement official. She said he was yelling and tossing furniture when they returned to the room, said the official.
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said hotel security reported Sheen was disorderly. The actor voluntarily went with authorities for a psychiatric evaluation.
The publicist, Stan Rosenfield, said the 45-year-old had an adverse allergic reaction to some medication. "Everything else is speculation."
It's not clear who the woman in the hotel room was. Sheen was in New York on a family vacation. His ex-wife, actress Denise Richards, and their two children, Sam, 6, and Lola, 5, were also staying at the hotel in a different room, the official said.
Sheen, the star of Two and a Half Men, has had past problems with alcohol and drugs that have landed him in legal trouble.
