Trevor Sinclair has been arrested on suspicion of drink-driving, common assault and criminal damage in Lancashire.

The 44-year-old, who won 12 caps for England, was arrested on Sunday after a woman suffered minor injuries when she was hit by a car.

On Monday, a Lancashire Police spokesman said: "Police were contacted at 8.45pm yesterday (Sunday, November 12) to a report of a disturbance at a house on Victory Boulevard in Lytham.

"Officers attended the property and found a man had already left the property in his car, a Tesla X60D.

"A short time later officers found the vehicle, which had been involved in a collision with a woman pedestrian on Clifton Drive. She received minor injuries.

"The driver, a 44-year-old man, was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving, common assault and criminal damage.

"He is currently in custody."

Sinclair began his career at Blackpool and went on to play for Queens Park Rangers, West Ham, Manchester City and Cardiff.

He represented England at the 2002 World Cup and scored what is widely considered one of the greatest goals in FA Cup history for QPR against Barnsley in 1997.
