However, the incident is now being investigated by the city’s criminal police and may result in further action.

All three men provided addresses in Northern Ireland.

The statement said:”Last Friday, around 9.50pm, a 22-year-old woman was in the fan zone at the Olympic Park when she was assaulted by three Scotland fans.

“All three men were aged 24 and come from Northern Ireland.

“The woman, who was slightly injured, made contact with local police on the site.

“The three men were arrested and taken to the police station to provide statements.

“The woman also claimed she had been kicked.
“After paying a fine, the three men were released.

“However, the matter is now under investigation by the Munich Criminal Police.”

It comes after Tartan Army fans ended up in a standoff with German cops in a row over a confiscated football.

Scores of supporters were sitting outside bars on Maderbrau Strasse, near Marienplatz, in the centre of Munich after Friday’s crushing defeat against the host nation.

A group of Scotland fans were playing with a football near a McDonald’s when staff intervened and took it off them and summoned the police.

And we also told how the family of a Scotland fan who was injured in a head on crash on his way to the Euros have rushed to his hospital bedside in Germany.

Gary Ellis, 23, was travelling with his four pals from Weeze Airport to the Euros.
