QPR'S volatile captain Joey Barton was punched in the face outside a Liverpool nightclub in the early hours of yesterday.
The midfielder was involved in a fight with two men, and a picture of the incident, apparently showing a shirtless Barton being held back by police and a woman, appeared on Twitter.
"Merseyside Police were called to Eberle Street in Liverpool city centre at 5.30am this morning following reports of an altercation," a Merseyside Police spokeswoman said yesterday. "On arrival officers found a 29-year-old man who had sustained injuries to his face. The man left the scene voluntarily. Two 21-year-old men from the L13 area were arrested at the scene for a public order offence. They are currently in police custody."
Ian Taylor, a spokesman for QPR, added: "Joey Barton was involved in an incident in Liverpool city centre in the early hours of Monday morning.
"Barton was on his way home from a night out with his girlfriend when two men sang offensive chants and then proceeded to hit the R's midfielder. Police were immediately on the scene and arrested one man."
