Andy Carroll is interviewed by police in Ireland after he allegedly assaulted a photographer during a Christmas party with his West Ham United teammates in Dublin.

West Ham United striker Andy Carroll has been interviewed by police after he was alleged to have assaulted a photographer.

The 23-year-old, who is on loan at Upton Park for the season from Liverpool, was taken in by authorities in Ireland during a Christmas party with his teammates in Dublin following their 3-1 victory over Chelsea at the weekend.

It is understood that no arrests were made and other Hammers players were spoken to after a press photographer accused the former Newcastle United frontman of assaulting him on Grafton Street.

Carroll is currently recovering from a knee injury, which has put him out of action for two months.
