The 47-year-old was taken into custody after he was seen grabbing Alice Kim by the arm in New Orleans late on Friday night.
A police statement said onlookers flagged down a passing patrol car after seeing the pair rowing in the city’s lively French Quarter.
Cage has been charged with one count of domestic violence and one count of public drunkenness.
He was released from custody this afternoon, according to celebrity news website TMZ.com, after a judge set his bail at $11,000.
The actor, who has a house in the Louisiana city, has had financial troubles and is thought to owe up to $6.2m dollars in unpaid taxes.
He won an Oscar for his performance in the 1995 film Leaving Las Vegas in which he played a drunk.
The couple have a five-year-old son, Kal-El.
In December, he was caught on camera delivering an expletive-ridden rant outside a nightclub in Bucharest where he was shooting his latest film.
