An Olympic wrestler was arrested in Paris on Friday morning over an allegation of sexual assault, local prosecutors said.
Mohamed Elsayed, a 26-year-old who won a bronze medal for Egypt in Greco-Roman wrestling at the Tokyo Games in 2021, was detained outside a bar at around 5 a.m.
Elsayed was accused of “placing his hand on a female customer’s buttocks,” according to the public prosecutor’s office.
