The 19-year-old was arrested on May 17 following an argument with a woman, the Sun newspaper had reported.

"Following a full and thorough investigation, the police have now confirmed they will take no further action."

Metropolitan Police said in a statement: "A man arrested on Sunday, May 17 following an allegation of rape has been released with no further action."
