Soccer star arrested after bloody brawl with teenage girlfriend

London, April 9 (ANI): A soccer starlet sacked by Chelsea for a smoke bomb prank last month was arrested over a bloody bust-up with his teenage girlfriend.

Shamed Jacob Mellis, 21, and his 19-year-old girlfriend were arrested in hospital after they were taken to A 'n' E.

Stunned neighbours at a posh apartment block told how a 3am rumpus spilled out of his 400,000 pounds pad - leaving the hall and stairs spattered with blood.

"All hell broke loose. There was screaming, swearing and the sound of furniture being smashed. It sounded like a full-on war. No one dared go out," the Sun quoted one neighbour as saying.

Cops raced to the block in Cobham, Surrey, and are believed to have kicked in the building's security door as screams continued to ring out.

England Under-19 midfielder Mellis - fired last month for letting off a smoke grenade at Chelsea's training ground - was taken to casualty with his girlfriend, who is thought to be of Latin descent.

Another neighbour revealed: "I heard things being smashed and both of them screaming at each other."

Both were later arrested at St Peter's Hospital in Chertsey on suspicion of ABH following treatment for scratches and bruises.

They were held at a police station all day and had mugshots, fingerprints and DNA taken while forensic teams scoured what was described as a "scene of destruction".

Last night the pair walked free from Staines police station after both accepted cautions for common assault.

Mellis, now on trial at Premier League QPR, also agreed to a caution for criminal damage. (ANI)
