Six British soldiers have been arrested in New York after an off-duty NYPD policeman was beaten up and robbed outside a bar.
The Royal Regiment of Scotland soldiers reportedly became embroiled in a row after travelling to Manhattan to play in a rugby match against the NYPD.
Police said three or four men lashed out in the early hours of Friday morning when the officer started chatting to a woman who was with the troops.
One soldier is accused of grabbing the policeman's mobile phone and a chain around his neck when he attempted to call 911, the Daily Record reported.
The soldiers – Iosefo Yavala, Iliakini Raderua, Thomas Shute, Felite Vunisarati, Mosese Kuruala and Joeli Raduva – were arrested when police arrived at the scene at around 4.40am on Friday (9.40am BST).
Yavala was charged with robbery and assault following the fight outside the Mercury Bar in the Murray Hill area of Manhattan. The other five were each charged with a single count of assault.
