Troubled singer Amy Winehouse has been arrested after attending a London police station.

Winehouse went to Holborn Police Station voluntarily to be questioned over an alleged assault.

"A 24-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of assault after attending a central London police station by appointment" - Scotland Yard spokeswoman

A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said: "A 24-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of assault after attending a central London police station by appointment. She is currently in custody."

Earlier her spokesman said he believed she would be questioned over an alleged incident in London in the early hours of April 23.

The singer arrived at the police station shortly before 5.10pm in a silver people-carrier, and after a delay of two minutes she emerged from the vehicle and walked rapidly up the steps flanked by minders and representatives.

Reporters, photographers and camera crews had waited three hours for her, as she had originally been expected at 3pm.

The star, who was wearing a yellow t-shirt and grey skirt, did not speak as she went into the police station.
