"Soul Train" star Don Cornelius was arrested Friday night in his Los Angeles home on domestic violence charges, authorities said.
Police said they responded to a radio call for domestic abuse at the former TV host's Mulholland Drive home at 7:15 p.m. and promptly arrested the 72-year-old.
He was released from a LAPD jail Saturday morning after posting $50,000 bail and faces felony domestic violence charges, police said.
LAPD didn't release the name of the victim or the nature of the injuries but Cornelius is married.
Cornelius created and hosted "Soul Train" 1971 to 1996. He closed each show with the catchphrase, "Love, peace and soul!"
