A man will appear in court today following an alleged assault at the Commonwealth Games athletes' village.
The 29-year-old suspect, reportedly an Australian competitor, was detained by police on Wednesday morning following a disturbance at Dalmarnock site in Glasgow's east end.
A Welsh athlete is reported to have been assaulted, and the Sydney Morning Herald reported on Thursday that Team Wales said a member of its team was helping police.
A Team Wales spokesman told the newspaper: "We're aware of an incident that occurred overnight involving a member of Team Wales and we're currently working with Police Scotland to assist them with their inquiries.
"Whilst the facts around the matter are being established it would be wrong for us to comment any further."
