TOULON, France (Reuters) - Former England flanker Steffon Armitage was freed from custody on Thursday after being questioned over an alleged attack and will go to court on Feb. 10 for aggravated violence, said police and judicial sources.

France Bleu radio reported that Armitage and his Toulon team mate Xavier Chiocci were arrested on Wednesday over an incident last month involving a 30-year-old man after the club defeated Leicester in the European Champions Cup.
