A celebrity has been arrested on suspicion of rape after Tyson Fury’s fight against Arslanbek Makhmudov in London last week.

The man in his 30s was arrested in a VIP area at Spurs’ North London stadium last Saturday after an alleged incident took place earlier this year.

He was held on suspicion of the rape and sexual assault of a female victim at a home in North London.

Detectives are understood to have planned the arrest because they knew he was attending the event.

The man, who has reportedly regularly appeared on TV, has since been bailed.

A Met Police spokesperson said the arrest was related to sexual offences which allegedly occurred in Golders Green in January.

A source told The Sun: ‘The star turned up and was in an exclusive area of the ground with friends when he was nicked.

‘It was a targeted pre-planned operation and he was stunned. Some people saw it but the police were trying to be discreet.

‘It was over an allegation from earlier this year. It was a surprising swoop.

‘The police spoke to him to explain the arrest, before leading him away for questioning. It obviously meant he missed the whole event.’
