The striker, 24, who plays for Premier League side Sheffield United has been held by officers from North Yorkshire Police after the video was reported.
Police confirmed that the 21-year-old victim sustained facial injuries during the incident, which happened shortly before 8.30pm on Saturday, May 8 on High Street in Knaresborough.
