Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood was arrested by British
police on suspicion of assault and released on bail after
questioning on Friday morning (NZT).
Surrey police said the 62-year-old rock star was arrested in
Claygate, Surrey in southern England on suspected assault in
connection with a domestic incident.
He was released until a date in January pending further
inquiries.
Wood's spokesman added: "I can confirm that there was an incident
last night and that Ronnie Wood was arrested.
He has since been released on police bail.
We have no further statement to make at this time."
Wood separated from his wife Jo in 2008 and their divorce was
formally sealed in court last month on the grounds of his admitted
adultery.
The couple had been married for 24 years and they had two
children.
Divorce documents made public did not name the person with whom the
star committed adultery.
Wood has had a widely reported relationship with Russian Ekaterina Ivanova.
