From the Guardian:

Wayne Rooney is to be questioned by police investigating reports of a 5am brawl outside a nightclub.

A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said yesterday that they will be interviewing the 21-year-old forward over claims that a photographer was assaulted outside the club in Manchester city centre.

Rooney has not been arrested and the photographer did not require medical treatment, police said. The alleged incident took place outside the Panacea nightclub last month. The police spokesman said:

“An appointment will be made for a 21-year-old man to attend a Greater Manchester Police station to be questioned in connection with an incident on John Dalton Street on Sunday, October 15.

“Shortly after 5.05am on October 15, police received a report that a man had been assaulted on John Dalton Street in Manchester city centre. The man did not require medical treatment. Inquiries are continuing into the incident.”
