The former-partner of singer George Michael has been arrested as part of a police probe into a string of hammer attacks on parked cars in London, according to reports.
Metropolitan Police officers reportedly arrested Fadi Fawaz in Bethnal Green, east London, on Friday, after a Mercedes, BMW and a Toyota were struck with a hammer.
The 47-year-old, who found the Wham! singer dead in his Oxfordshire home in 2016, was videoed wearing a tracksuit bottoms, a shellsuit and flip-flops, as he was arrested by officers, reports The Sun.
Police confirmed a man had been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage, possession of a knife and possession of Class A drugs, the paper reports.
The alleged arrest comes almost a year after Fawaz’s family dismissed claims he is homeless and depressed in London and claim he is ‘going to be OK’.

The hair-stylist was pictured pacing the street in Covent Garden in August last year amid claims he was sleeping rough after checking out of a £49-a-night Travelodge.
According to the Sun, Fawaz was seen wandering the streets of London earlier this week looking for accommodation prior to his alleged arrest.
Australian-born Fawaz is said to have first met George Michael in 2009 and is believed they were dating from 2012 onward, after the ‘Faith’ singer split from long-term partner Kenny Goss.
On Christmas Day 2016, Fawaz found the singer dead in his home in Goring-on-Thames after attempting to wake him up so they could go to lunch.
At the time of Michael’s death aged 53, Fawaz claimed it was ‘suicide’.
But an inquest later ruled the singer died of natural causes and had dilated cardiomyopathy with myocarditis and fatty liver.
