Brydon Carse will not face any charges after Derbyshire police dropped an investigation into an alleged assault in Derby city centre last month.
Images circulated on social media the day after the game on Sunday 23 August showed Carse in handcuffs surrounded by police officers, which led to Derbyshire police confirming a man had been arrested outside Molly Malone’s bar the following day.
The Guardian has learned that the matter is now closed, however, with no action to be taken.
