The incident happened in the early hours of Saturday morning on Wardour Street in Soho. Metropolitan police officers responded to a call after reports of a fight. At the scene of the incident, law enforcement officers detained a football player suspected of two episodes of assault and one case of beating.
The injured man was hospitalized, but doctors confirmed that his injuries were not life-threatening.
The name of the player and the club for which he plays are currently not disclosed. This is due to strict legal regulations in Great Britain, which protect the anonymity of suspects until formal charges are brought.
At the moment, the football player has been released on bail. He has been allowed to continue professional duties, including attending matches and traveling, while the investigation continues. Police continue to investigate the circumstances of the incident in the West End.
