A statement issued by Hertfordshire Police read: ‘A 26-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of ABH. He has been released with no further action.’

Aurier joined Spurs from Paris Saint-Germain for £23million in the summer of 2017.
He was ruled out for the Parisian club’s Champions League clash with Arsenal in 2016 after he was denied entry into the UK for assaulting a police officer in France.
The defender also found himself in hot water after he was stopped for a breath test outside a night club in May 2016 which he was found guilty for and then given a two-month jail sentence.
Aurier managed to successfully appeal the charge.
