Queens Park Rangers defender Danny Simpson has been arrested over claims he attacked a man with an iron bar, after tracking him down and suspecting he stole his phone, reports the Daily Mail.
The former Manchester United and Newcastle United player is said to have lashed out after discovering his iPhone had vanished while on a night out.
It is thought the 27-year-old used a tracker on the phone to trace it to a house in Manchester.
The defender, who split with N-Dubz singer Tulisa last May, is accused of confronting a 34-year-old man outside his home.
It is alleged the man was attacked with an iron bar, leaving him with head injuries.
