Ex-Libertines star Pete Doherty has been released on bail after being arrested on suspicion of administering noxious substances.

The Babyshambles frontman was arrested in East London following a national newspaper's publishing pictures of him allegedly injecting a female fan with drugs.

The star, who is already out on police bail after being accused of Class A drug possession, was arrested before he was due to play an anti-racism concert in Trafalgar Square on Saturday.

A spokeswoman from Scotland Yard reported, "He was released on bail to return on a date in July pending further inquiries."
