FORMER Manchester United star Eric Cantona has been arrested and cautioned for assaulting a man in London.

It is not known if the unidentified victim, who did not require medical attention, will press charges against the 47-year-old, the Telegraph reports.

"Officers from Camden Borough attended and a man in his mid-40s was arrested on suspicion of common assault," police said in a statement. "He was taken into custody and subsequently cautioned for common assault."

They did not say what occurred before the alleged assault.

Cantona already has an assault conviction to his name after attacking Crystal Palace fan Matthew Simmons in January 1995. He was sentenced to two weeks in prison, before that was reduced to 120 hours community service.

He was also banned for eight months and fined 10,000 pounds ($18,500) by the Football Association, which extended a four-month suspension and 20,000-pound fine imposed by United.

Cantona said after his successful appeal against a jail term, "When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea."

The Frenchman has gone on to become an actor after hanging up his soccer boots, appeared alongside Cate Blanchett in Elizabeth in 1998 and Looking for Eric, in which he plays himself.
