Netherlands international winger and Ajax football star, Quincy Promes has been arrested in connection with a stabbing at a family gathering earlier this year.
The Netherlands international winger would face up to four years in jail if found guilty.
The 28-year-old Dutch footballer was arrested by police on Sunday over suspected assault resulting in serious physical injury.
Promes “is suspected of assault resulting in serious physical injury,” popular daily tabloid De Telegraaf said.
The report said the family member was left with serious injuries after a fierce argument during a family party at a warehouse in Abcoude, just outside Amsterdam.
The relative is believed to have pressed charges last month and police spokesperson Jelmer Geerds confirmed a 28-year-old man had been arrested on Sunday.
“We only heard about the incident a month ago,” Geerds added. “An investigation was then started and this morning led to an arrest.”
The arrest occurred the day after Promes, who has made 49 appearances for the Netherlands, scored in Ajax’s 4-0 Eredivisie win over PEC Zwolle on Saturday.
The Dutch report adds the alleged crime of “assault resulting in serious physical injury” carries a maximum jail sentence of four years if the defendant is found guilty.
Promes, who previously played for Twente, Go Ahead Eagles, and Spartak Moscow, joined Ajax from Sevilla last year in a £14million deal.
