Manchester United captain Harry Maguire was arrested on the tourist island of Mykonos after a scuffle with tourists and an assault on Greek police, corroborating sources were told on Friday.

“Three British men, one of whom is a footballer for an English team, attacked the police during the night from Thursday to Friday, slightly injuring four of them, and were arrested,” a Petros Vassilakis, a police official from Syros, a nearby island, told AFP. “They will be presented to the Syros prosecutor this Friday afternoon,” he added.

According to the Greek news agency ANA, Harry Maguire, his brother and a friend had a fight with other English tourists in a bar on the tourist island of Mykonos. When the police, alerted by residents, arrived on the scene, they were insulted and one of the suspects attacked an officer. The police asked the three men to follow them to the station, but they tried to escape, according to Petros Vassilakis.

“The footballer verbally attacked an officer and then hit him,” said a Greek police officer. The three (Maguire, his brother and his friend) resisted when they were brought to the Mykonos police station. ”

Manchester United have confirmed having knowledge of “an alleged incident in which Harry Maguire was involved last night (Thursday) in Mykonos”. The 27-year-old England defender “is fully cooperating with the Greek authorities,” the club said in a statement reported by the Press Association agency. “At this stage, we are not going to make any additional comments,” Manchester United said.
