Premier League footballer Marlon King has been arrested after allegedly assaulting a woman in a nightclub.

The Hull City forward, 28, was arrested on Wednesday after he voluntarily attended a police station after the incident on Sunday.

The player, who is on loan from Wigan Athletic, was accused of causing actual bodily harm and indecent assault.

Mr King was released on bail.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "We are investigating an allegation of assault on a 20-year-old female in the early hours of Sunday morning.

"A 28-year-old man has been arrested today in connection with the incident. He has been bailed to return on a date in February."

King had been out with friends after scoring a last-minute penalty in Hull's 2-1 over Middlesbrough.
