West Ham striker arrested for assault

WEST HAM Striker Diafra Sakho was arrested on suspicion of assault, it was reported yesterday.

The 25-year-old from Senegal was reportedly arrested last Thursday, three days before West Ham’s shock 2-0 victory over Arsenal in the Premier League — a match he started and played for 90 minutes.

Police held the player on suspicion of attacking a girlfriend in east London, The Sun reported.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: “Officers from Tower Hamlets have arrested a man on suspicion of common assault, criminal damage and malicious communication.

“The 25-year-old was arrested on Thursday 6 August at an address in Emerson Park, Hornchurch.

“He was taken to an east London police station and has been bailed to a date in late September.”
