LONDON (Reuters) - Award-winning rap star Ms Dynamite has been arrested over allegations of assault in a London restaurant, a police source says.

The alleged incident happened at a restaurant in the Soho district of central London last month.

Ms Dynamite, 23, was arrested in connection with the allegation after voluntarily attending a police station at the end of last week, police said.

"A 23-year-old woman voluntarily attended a central London police station on October 1 following an allegation of assault on September 17 at premises in Wardour Street," a spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Police said.

"The woman was arrested and has been bailed to reappear at a central London police station at a date in November."

Ms Dynamite, whose real name is Niomi McLean-Daley, won the coveted Mercury Music Prize for her album "A Little Deeper" in 2002 and has won a string of prizes since, including two Brit Awards and three MOBOs (Music of Black Origin).
