Police issued a statement to AFP saying: "A 26-year-old man... was arrested on suspicion of ABH (actual bodily harm) and has been released with no further action." A Tottenham spokesman quoted by the Evening Standard newspaper said: "We are aware of an incident concerning Serge Aurier this weekend. The player was released without charge."
The former Paris Saint-Germain player, who has played 12 times for Mauricio Pochettino's Spurs side this season, received a suspended two-month prison sentence after an assault on a police officer outside a Paris nightclub in 2016. He was also suspended by PSG for making a homophobic slur against former coach Laurent Blanc in a social media video.
