A BRAWL between footballers in Crystal Palace last night (March 15) led to a man being arrested on suspicion of assault, police say.

Bromley Police were called to the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre at around 9.45pm after a contentious tackle sparked angry scenes during a football game.

A 20-year-old man from Newham was taken to Mayday Hospital in Croydon where he required stitches for a facial injury.

He was allegedly punched during a violent confrontation between players.

A 26-year-old was arrested on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm and remains in custody at Bromley police station.
