Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood has been arrested on suspicion of assaulting his girlfriend, model Ekaterina Ivanova.
According to reports, the 20-year-old Ivanova claimed the 62-year-old Wood attacked her during an argument on Wednesday night.
Wood was questioned by police in Claygate, Surrey in Southeast England after the incident, which allegedly took place in a street near the couple's home.
Wood apparently spend the night in jail and was released on bail. A spokesman for the Stones confirmed the arrest but said the band would not be releasing a statement on the matter.
Surrey police released a brief statement, saying "We can confirm that a 62-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault in connection with a domestic incident," adding that "he has been released on bail till a date in January pending further inquiries."
The news comes just days after Ivanova allegedly spread rumors that the band would be touring in 2010.
Fans have speculated that Wood was in danger of being kicked out of the group due to his penchant for partying.
Wood has spent several stints in rehab and got divorced last year from his wife of 23 years, Jo, who caught him having an affair with Ivanova.
