The incident in the Champs Elysees area shortly before dawn involved what one police official described as minor violence. It occurred as the Ivory Coast national, 23, left a nightclub, Europe 1 radio station said.

Coach Laurent Blanc briefly suspended Aurier in mid-February after he posted a video online in which he insulted Blanc and fellow PSG players, including Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Angel Di Maria.
