Police have launched an investigation after a Premier League footballer was allegedly threatened at gunpoint in north London.
The Metropolitan Police are investigating an incident involving Tottenham Hotspur and Italy defender Destiny Udoga.
In the meantime, Tottenham are providing support to the 22-year-old and his family.
Following the incident in September, a 31-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent, blackmail and driving without a licence.
He was released on bail while the investigation continues, police said.
A Tottenham spokesman said on Tuesday: “We have provided support to Destiny and his family since the incident and will continue to do so.
“As this is a legal matter, we cannot comment further.”
Police were called at 11.14pm on September 6 to reports that a man in his 20s had been threatened at gunpoint in Cockfosters Parade, Barnet.
A spokesman said: “Officers spoke to the victim and during the course of the investigation it was also reported that another man in his 20s was also allegedly being blackmailed and threatened by the same man.
“In both cases there were no casualties.
“A 31-year-old man was arrested on Monday, September 8, on suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent, blackmail and driving without a licence.
“He has been released on bail while inquiries continue.”
