UK rapper Dizzee Rascal has been arrested for allegedly carrying an offensive weapon - a baseball bat.

Dizzee is one of the most popular UK rap stars but has come under fire from some for 'selling out' after having a number 1 hit over the summer with 'Dance Wiv Me'.

Rascal has been released on bail and has to return to the police station later in December.

Next year Dizzee Rascal embarks on a sell out arena tour with The Prodigy and this arrest is not expected to change any arrangements for the tour.

Rapper Dizzee Rascal has been arrested in south-east London following an alleged incident involving a baseball bat, police have said.

The Mercury Prize winner, whose real name is Dylan Mills, was held on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon in Sevenoaks Way, Orpington.
