Police have confirmed the age of the celebrity arrested on suspicion of rape after Tyson Fury’s fight against Arslanbek Makhmudov in London last week.
The man was originally reported as being ‘in his 30s’, but it’s now been confirmed that he is 30. He 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 that allegedly occurred in Golders Green in January.
In a statement shared with Metro, a Met spokesperson said: ‘A 30-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of rape, sexual assault, and causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent on Saturday, 11 April.
‘This relates to sexual offences which reportedly occurred at an address in Golders Green in January.
‘A female victim is being supported by specially trained officers.
‘The man has been released on bail as enquiries continue.’
A source also 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.’
