Former Manchester United and France football star Eric Cantona has been arrested for assault in north London.

Cantona, 47, received an official caution from police over the incident on Regent’s Park Road, Camden, just before 13:00 GMT on Wednesday.

Cantona previously attacked a Crystal Palace fan with a kung-fu kick in 1995 after he was sent off in a Premiership game, whilst he was playing for Manchester United.
