Police investigating alleged assault in Carse arrest case
The England pacer was handcuffed by the Derbyshire police for a brief amount of time before being de-arrested after he was denied entry at Molly Malone’s Irish Tavern in Derby at around 4 am, as reported by the Guardian. He then left after an 'exchange of words' with a person in public who allegedly spilled a drink on him. The police are now investigating an alleged assault case as well, but it is not clear as of now if Carse is involved in it or not.
"We are investigating allegations of assault in Derby city centre," the statement by Derbyshire police read, which was released on Wednesday (Aug 26) and first reported by the Telegraph. "No arrests have yet been made and the investigation is ongoing."

The Carse incident came shortly after new Test skipper Joe Root removed the midnight curfew. Root was not pleased and said he was 'hacked off' with the way things turned out.
On the Ashes tour of Australia, England were criticised for a break mid-series in Noosa, allegedly for drinking where Ben Duckett was seen completely sozzled. Prior to that, Harry Brook had an incident in a nightclub in New Zealand which ended up in him getting reprimanded.
More recently, Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson were suspended for their celebration after England's win in the first Test of the summer over New Zealand. Ben Stokes retired shortly after and said on a podcast earlier this month that "cricket has a culture that is associated with alcohol".
