Manchester City striker Craig Bellamy has been arrested on suspicion of assault, a police source said on Wednesday.

The Wales soccer star, currently on loan at Championship side Cardiff City, was bailed on Wednesday after speaking with officers.

He was arrested after the alleged assault in central Cardiff on Sunday. Two men, aged 20 and 26, were suffered facial injuries.

"A 31-year-old man has today been arrested on suspicion of assault and has been bailed pending further enquiries," a police statement said.

A Cardiff spokesman said:" We are aware of the reported incident involving one of our players last weekend and feel it would be inappropriate to comment while an ongoing police investigation is under way."
