Premier League footballer Nicklas Bendtner has apologised after being arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage at his luxury apartment block.
The 25-year-old Arsenal striker was held by police in Hertfordshire on Monday in connection with damage to an apartment building in the Bushey area where he lives.
Writing on his Instagram account on Tuesday, he explained that he accidentally damaged a door as he tried to force it open after it became stuck.
He wrote: "On Saturday night after our win against Southampton I went out with my family and friends for dinner.
"After our dinner we all wanted a night swim in my gym so we changed to shorts and brought towels down.
"As we arrived at the gym my key fob changed the colour from red (locked) to green (open) but the door remained closed.
"We thought the door was stuck so we tried to open it and it caused some damage. I apologise for any inconvenience for my neighbours and I have paid in full.
"We had no part in damaging anything else in the building. The matter is closed with the police, and my focus is on tonight's match."
Police said Bendtner had been cautioned - meaning he will not be required to attend court and is available for selection for Arsenal's Champions League clash with Marseille.
In a statement, Hertfordshire Police said: "A 25-year-old man from Bushey has been cautioned for criminal damage and is no longer in custody.
"He was arrested in connection with an incident which occurred at an address in The Avenue, Bushey, in the early hours of November 24."
The Denmark international, a bit-part player with the current Premier League leaders, has scored 45 goals for the Gunners in 164 appearances since making his debut for the club in the 2005/06 season.
The striker has been loaned out to a succession of clubs including Sunderland, Birmingham City and Italian club Juventus.
While on loan at Sunderland in 2012, he was cleared of criminal damage charges following an incident that left cars damaged near the home of arch-rivals Newcastle United.
In the same year he was also fined £660 and banned from driving for 56 days after he was caught speeding at 103mph in his Porsche.
Last March the forward was axed by Denmark after a drink-driving arrest.
In June last year, Bendtner was handed a one-match ban and fined €100,000 (£83,000) by Uefa for lowering his shorts after scoring twice in his country's European Championship defeat to Portugal.
He was found guilty of improper conduct for celebrating his second goal in the 3-2 Group B defeat by displaying the underwear bearing a bookmaker's logo - with the company picking up the tab for the fine.
