Former England footballer Paul Gascoigne has been detained under the Mental Health Act following an incident at a hotel in Newcastle. Northumbria Police said a 40-year-old man was detained following a report of disorderly behaviour at the Malmaison Hotel early on Wednesday.
Officers later visited Mr Gascoigne at Gateshead's Hilton Hotel after concerns were raised about his behaviour.
Police said he was not in custody and was now receiving medical treatment.
A Northumbria Police spokesman said: "Police attended the Hilton Hotel in Gateshead yesterday evening after we received a report of concern for a 40-year-old man staying at the hotel."
"The man was detained under the Mental Health Act, and no-one was injured during the incident."
Gascoigne has battled for some time with alcohol and health problems.
In January 2005, he was hospitalised with pneumonia and last year he underwent emergency surgery for a perforated stomach ulcer after being taken ill as he was celebrating his 40th birthday.
He was arrested for an alleged assault on a photographer outside a Liverpool city centre hotel in 2005. The charges were later dropped.
A former player with Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, Lazio, Glasgow Rangers and Middlesbrough, he was sacked after 39 days as manager of Kettering Town in 2005.
He was capped 57 times for England.

Hope he gets better soon
