French police detained Paris Saint-Germain star Serge Aurier on Monday after he hit an officer outside a nightclub.
The full back who has been regularly in trouble with his club, is alleged to have "insulted and hit a police officer,"
Paris Saint-Germain confirmed that Aurier is in custody but made no other comment.
Aurier appeared to have "elbowed" the policeman in the throat, according to a legal source. He has been held at a police station near the Champs Elysee for "deliberate violence against a person of public authority," the source added.
Paris Saint-Germain suspended Aurier briefly in February after he insulted
club coach Laurent Blanc in a video. Aurier later admitted he had carried out a "stupid mistake" and apologized.
Aurier,the 23-year old signed for PSG in 2015 after a six-month loan at the French champions from Toulouse,
where he played for three years.
He has 31 caps for the Ivory Coast, and played at the World Cup in 2014 in Brazil, before being shortlisted for the team of the tournament at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.
It looks as if PSG will let go of the Ivorian in the summer to lessen their worries over him.
