Football legend George Best was today arrested after an allegation of assault.
Best walked into Staines police station in Surrey at lunchtime to be interviewed about an allegation brought by Vicky Pope that he attacked her as she tried to stop him getting into ex-lover Gina's Devivo's home in Ewell, Surrey, on Tuesday.
Best looked relaxed as he drew up in a Skoda taxi followed by the press.
But shortly afterwards it emerged Best had been arrested and was being held in custody inside the police station.
Earlier today, Best's agent, Phil Hughes, said the former footballer “categorically” denied any allegation of assault.
Ms Pope told the Daily MirrorBest had punched her in the neck as she attempted to stop him entering her friend Ms Devivo's home.
She told the newspaper: “It was absolutely terrifying and totally shocking.”
