Doherty was arrested at a North London hotel on evening on suspicion of theft and assault. He spent the night in police custody.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said then: "Police were called to a hotel in Peters Lane, London EC1, at 6.20pm yesterday (Tuesday February 2nd) following a report of a man being assaulted. A 25-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and theft".
The spokesman added that a man in his 30s was taken to University College Hospital in central London with minor facial injuries but was understood to have been discharged.
According to BBC News, Doherty will appear at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court on Friday (February 4th) to answer the robbery & blackmail charges.
Musician Alan Wass, 23, (nope, us neither) also of north London, will appear in court accused of the same offences.
In other Doherty related news, tabloids have suggested he's going into rehab next week. Oh and he's getting married to girlfriend model Kate Moss and they're planning to spend some time in Russia.
Good. That way we all get a break... from both of them...
