BOWERS ARRESTED OVER ALLEGED ASSAULT
British singer DANE BOWERS was arrested on suspicion of assault following an alleged fight during a night out.
The former Another Level star was partying at Mayhem club in Essex, Eng land on Saturday night (17Apr10) but the evening turned violent when a fi ght broke out in the early hours, resulting in two 22-year-old men being taken to hospital.
One of the alleged victims, Steve Norris, insists it was Bowers who ins tigated the altercation and claims the star’s pal punched him in the eye, leaving him in need of stitches.
Norris tells Britain’s The Sun newspaper, "Dane’s friend came over and got in my friend’s face. He got Kalvin in a headlock and Dane came over a nd got in my face. He pushed me and I pushed him back. We ended up on the floor. Then the other guy punched me in the eye." Bowers and his unnamed pal were taken away by police to be questioned a nd were released on bail later on Sunday (18Apr10).
But a representative for Bowers insists the star is innocent and is con sidering launching his own legal battle against the two men.
The spokesperson says, "Dane and his friend were provoked into a fight.
Dane will consider bringing his own action for assault. It looks like a case of the perpetrator claiming assault having started a fight." Cops confirmed two men, aged 30 and 33, were arrested and released on p olice bail.
A police representative says, "They have both been released on bail unt il May 17."
