PARIS (AP): An Egyptian Olympic wrestler was arrested in Paris on sexual assault charges, French prosecutors said Friday.
A 26-year-old athlete was detained early Friday after allegedly groping a woman from behind outside a Paris cafe, according to a statement from the Paris prosecutor’s office.
The office did not name the wrestler but said he was born in Egypt and was in Paris to compete in the Olympics.
The Egyptian wrestling federation did not immediately reply to a request for comment. (AP)
