New Delhi: West Ham United forward Diafra Sakho has been arrested on suspicion of domestic assault on Thursday, according to reports.

British press report that police held the 25-year-old striker on suspicion of attacking a girlfriend in East London.

"Officers from Tower Hamlets have arrested a man on suspicion of common assault, criminal damage and malicious communication," a report quoted a Scotland Yard spokesman as saying.
