Paris Saint-Germain player arrested for alleged role in attack on her teammate

A member of the Paris Saint-Germain women’s soccer team was arrested Wednesday, accused of being involved in an attack on one of her teammates last week.

Aminata Diallo was linked to an attack on fellow midfielder Kheira Hamraoui that occurred after a team outing to a restaurant near Bois de Boulogne in Paris on Thursday. They and other players were returning home at roughly 10 p.m., according to L’Equipe, with Diallo at the wheel, when two masked men approached their car. One pried open the door and pulled out Hamraoui, hitting her legs with an iron bar before leaving the scene.
