Wales striker Craig Bellamy has been arrested on suspicion of assault, police said Wednesday. Bellamy, who now plays for Cardiff City, was taken into custody after two men were injured in an early morning incident in the Welsh capital last weekend. The 31-year-old Bellamy was bailed by police on Wednesday.
He was arrested after the alleged assault on Cardiff's Caroline Street - known locally as "Chippy Lane" - around 2.45am local time (0245GMT) on Sunday. The other two men, aged 20 and 26, both sustained facial injuries. A South Wales Police spokesman said: "A 31-year-old man has today (Wednesday) been arrested on suspicion of assault and has been bailed pending further inquiries."
Bellamy, whose previous clubs include Newcastle, Blackburn Rovers and Celtic, is currently on loan to Cardiff, who play in English football's second division Championship, from Premier League Manchester City. "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," a Cardiff City spokesman said.
