[GaNgStA kEeKs]

Premiership footballer Anton Ferdinand has been arrested after an alleged assault outside a nightclub.



The 21-year-old West Ham defender and England under-21 player was formally arrested when he attended an east London police station on Thursday.

Police confirmed a "man in his 20s" was held on suspicion of assault following a disturbance outside Faces nightclub in Ilford, early on 2 October.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said the suspect was bailed until next month.

He said up to 15 people had been involved in the disturbance outside the club in Cranbrook Road.

"A subsequent allegation of assault was reported to police and a man in his 20s attended an east London police station on 12 October, and has been arrested on suspicion of assault," he said. Mr Ferdinand is the younger brother of Manchester United star and England international Rio Ferdinand.

When will they ever learn eh?

People will argue "they are in the public eye and things like this happen" bla bla bla.

Load of bollocks if you ask me. These players need to take a look at themselves.

I mean do you ever see players like Shearer, Owen, Henry etc in the papers for anything like this?

Bit of a joke if you ask me.

I don't see what you mean Kiko. A small % of footballers get arrested (quite often the same ones time and time again). A small % of the general population get arrested. I don't see the difference - you get stupid people from all porfessions who will do stupid things and get themselves arrested.
