PREMIER League star Nicklas Bendtner was arrested following an early hours brawl at a luxury hotel, it emerged today.
The 23-year-old Sunderland ace was held by cops who were called to the bust-up at the Gateshead Hilton in September last year.

The Denmark international striker, who is currently on bail for an alleged car wrecking spree in Newcastle, was held with another 23-year-old before being released.

Police today said they chose not to bring charges against Bendtner after investigating the incident.

A police spokesman confirmed: "At 2.18am on Thursday, September 13, police received a report of a fight at the Hilton Hotel in Gateshead.

"Officers attended and two men aged 23 were arrested to prevent continued breach of the peace. After investigations, both men were released without charge."

It is the second time in a matter of months the footballer has been arrested.

Sunderland team-mates Bendtner and Lee Cattermole were held after cars were said to have been damaged near the ground of their club's arch rivals.

Several vehicles were reportedly damaged on December 6 just yards from the St James' Park home of Newcastle United.

A spokesman for Sunderland refused to comment on the latest revelations.

Bendtner moved to Sunderland from Arsenal in a deadline day loan deal last year.

Last year it was claimed that he caused havoc in a Copenhagen pizza shop after his credit cards were rejected.
