Hibs player Ryan Porteous arrested and charged with assault

Hibs player Ryan Porteous has been arrested and charged in connection with an alleged assault.

It comes after police launched an investigation into an incident at a miners club in Midlothian that allegedly left a woman injured.

The assault is alleged to have taken place outside Dalkeith Miners Club just hours after Porteous played in the club’s 2-0 Scottish Premiership win over Ross County at Easter Road.

The club previously said it was assisting police with their investigation.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “A 22-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with an assault.

“Around 2.05am on Sunday, February 20, 2022, police received a report of a woman being injured in the Woodburn Road area of Dalkeith.

“The 22-year-old man is subject of a report to the Procurator Fiscal. He has been released on an undertaking and will appear at a later date.”
