David Spade was attacked with a stun gun in his home by an employee who was apparently attempting to rob him, police said.

The 36-year-old star of the NBC sitcom "Just Shoot Me" suffered minor injuries and was treated by paramedics on the scene Wednesday, police Sgt. Tom Van Ausdell said.

The employee, whom police identified as David Malloy, 29, of Los Angeles, had fled by the time police arrived at Spade's home. He was arrested hours later and booked on suspicion of burglary, assault with a deadly weapon and assault with a stun gun, police said. Bail was set at $50,000.

Malloy worked as a personal assistant to the actor, Van Ausdell said.

Spade got his start on "Saturday Night Live," and appeared in a series of movies as straight man to the late Chris Farley. On "Just Shoot Me," Spade plays the assistant to a magazine publisher.
