Angelina Jolie is arrested by police... but it's only a scene from her latest movie

Angelina Jolie certainly seems to be having a lot of interesting experiences while shooting her new movie, Salt.
Yesterday she filmed being arrested by police, put in handcuffs and escorted out of a building.
She and the officers appeared to be covered in dust outside the courtyard of St. Bart's Church in Manhattan.

The film has also seen her running through traffic in Washinton DC and climbing along the side of a building in New York as a window blows out.
The 33-year-old plays a CIA officer on a mission to clear her name after she is accused of being a Russian sleeper agent. She even gets to change her hair colour.
Her latest adventure comes just days after the 33-year-old filmed another equally action-packed scene.

Wearing a blonde wig, shards of glass and smoke could be seen blown out of a window a few feet from her in Midtown Manhattan.
She was again sporting a nasty cut  to her knee - thought to be just make-up - which was visible during the scenes in Washington.
The Hollywood star's presence caused traffic to come to a standstill in the capital as she darted through vehicles and a crowd of extras, while cameramen could be seen hoisted on a cherry picker to get aerial shots.

Jolie caused a buzz amongst the local community as she filmed her scenes for the flick, due out in cinemas next summer.
'I was surprised at how short she is,' worker Alexandra Kosmides told New Channel 8.

'If Angelina is here, Brad is here,' tourist Lindsay Galley added.

The film sees her character fighting to prove she is an American patriot after she is accused of being a Russian mole.
'She's a character you never know,' the film's producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura said.
'People who think they know the real her may or may not. Those who think they can tell whether she's in a disguise also may or may not.

'He didn't manage to speak to them because the line was disconnected,' the premier's aide told reporters at Tsvangirai's home, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The couple are active in charity work around the world, but have no apparent links to Zimbabwe in particular.
Jolie gave birth to one of their children in nearby Namibia and the couple have adopted Ethiopian-born Zahara, among their six children.
