Bristol Rovers manager Joey Barton is set to face court on a charge of assault by beating after a woman suffered a head injury.
The former Premier League footballer is due to appear at Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court in south-west London on Monday.
The Metropolitan Police said the charge against Barton, 38, of Widnes, Cheshire, relates to an alleged incident at a residential property in Kew south-west London, on June 2.
He was charged on Sunday after being arrested on June 2 and bailed pending further inquiries.
The London Ambulance Service did not attend the scene.
Barton played for a number of teams throughout his 15-year career, including Manchester City, Newcastle United and Burnley.
