Israel Adesanya Arrested in United States

Israel Adesanya has been arrested in New York, local media said on Wednesday. 

The UFC star was taken into custody by the police and airport security shortly after arriving at John F. Kennedy Airport. He was reportedly found in possession of metal knuckle while trying to go through security.
