(M&C) - A nineteen-year-old man has been held on suspicion of involvement in rape at the same hotel where Manchester United players were having their Christmas party on Tuesday.
The man is being questioned by police after turning himself in following the alleged assault last night at the exclusive Great John Street Hotel in Manchester.
A spokesperson from Greater Manchester Police said: "Police are currently investigating a report of rape at a hotel in Manchester city centre."
"At about 4.15am on Tuesday December 18 2007, police were called to the hotel on Great John Street to a report that a 26-year-old woman had been raped. Inquiries are continuing."
The incident occurred when all members of the Manchester United first team -- with the exception of Cristiano Ronaldo -- were attending their club's annual Christmas party.
