Gascoigne arrested over 'assault'Former England football star Paul Gascoigne has been arrested over an alleged assault outside a hotel.
Mr Gascoigne, 38, was arrested on Monday night outside the Hope Street Hotel in Liverpool after a member of the press said he had been attacked.
Merseyside Police confirmed a 38-year-old was in custody in the city.
Mr Gascoigne, an ex-Newcastle, Rangers and Spurs player, returned to football as non-league Kettering Town's manager in October, but was sacked on Monday.
He had been in Liverpool on Monday to speak at a fund-raising event for a drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre.
It is not clear if he was staying at the Hope Street Hotel but paramedics were called and they treated the journalist at the scene.
"The person who reported the matter was a member of the press who received medical treatment at the scene," Merseyside Police said.
They would not say which organisation the journalist was from, though he was later reported to be a freelance photographer.
'Tough time
Speaking to the BBC, musician Chris Difford said he was at the event and saw some "pushing and shoving" outside involving some photographers.
Mr Gascoigne did not appear to want his picture taken, he said.
"He did not appear to be under the influence of alcohol," added Mr Difford.
Earlier on Monday, Kettering Town chairman Imraan Ladak fired Mr Gascoigne after just 39 days in charge at the Nationwide Conference North side, over claims about his conduct.
Mr Ladak said he spoke to Mr Gascoigne after 37 separate incidents since he became manager.
Website criticism
He claimed Mr Gascoigne was "under the influence of alcohol before, during and after several first-team games and training sessions".
Mr Ladak had urged Mr Gascoigne to seek "professional medical assistance".
The former midfielder, whose other clubs as a player included Lazio, Everton, Middlesbrough and Burnley, admitted drinking a double brandy before one game.
Mr Gascoigne posted a statement on his website criticising Mr Ladak over lack of funds for players and accusing him of undermining his position as manager.
He admitted he had been through a "tough time" over the past year and was having counselling.

Paul Gascoigne has denied claims from Kettering owner Imraan Ladak that his position as manager was made untenable because he had begun drinking again.
Gascoigne, 38, was sacked on Monday but said he was actually axed because he would not run the team as Ladak wanted.
"I had a double brandy before one of the games, but it used to be four bottles of whiskey a day - it's not now," Gascoigne told Sky Sports News.
"I had a glass of wine after one game and told him to stay out of the team."
Ladak says he had no choice but to sack Gascoigne as manager because the former England star was "under the influence of alcohol".
He told BBC Radio Five Live: "If you are a recovering alcoholic there is no reason to drink but Paul thinks it is OK.
"He feels I should have done more - but I have had conversations with him he can't remember because he was drunk."
Ladak believes the 38-year-old needs to get help before he considers returning to the game.
"I thought football was what he needed, but being a manager has pushed him the other way," added Ladak.
"Only Paul can help Paul. No friends or counsellor can do it for him and when he is ready to help himself he will.
"This is the most difficult decision I've had to make in my life. I would have loved to have sorted him out but I felt I would have been gambling with the club."
Gascoigne now says he wants to buy out Ladak's stake in the Poppies and move the club forward, despite Kevin Wilson's re-appointment as manager.
"He's not the chairman, he's Imraan the doctor," added Gascoigne. "I'm Paul Gascoigne and I take charge of this club.
"I'm a multi-millionaire and I'm angry. I've tried to buy him out already. I told him it was the fans and Paul Gascoigne against a doctor - who will win?
"I know that the supporters, the players and the staff of Kettering Town are all behind me, not him.
"Two years ago I would have given in but not now. I'm a genius and I know what's going on the football field."
