Bailed: Bolton's Croatian striker Klasnic
Bolton striker Ivan Klasnic was
arrested on suspicion of rape, sources confirmed
today.
The Croatia international, 30, was held for questioning by
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) earlier this week before being
bailed pending further inquiries.
Police were called to an apartment in Manchester city centre in
the early hours of Monday when the allegation was made.
Klasnic was not at the address when the complaint was made and
was arrested some time later, sources said.
A spokesman for GMP said: 'Police are currently investigating a
report of rape in Manchester city centre.
'Shortly before 5am on Monday 25 October 2010, police were
called following a report that a 17-year-old had been raped.
'A 30-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of rape and
released on bail pending further inquiries until 1 November
2010.'
Police have declined to give any further details about the
alleged incident.
Bolton have so far not commented about the allegation.
