ESSENDON youngster Michael Hurley has been placed in police custody after an altercation with a taxi driver on Friday morning.
AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou said on Melboune radio station 3AW that the league had been informed by the Bombers that Hurley had been taken into police custody for allegedly kicking and punching a taxi driver in Richmond.
"Essendon has been proactive in informing us that Michael Hurley has been involved in an incident early this morning. He is being held by police which relates to an assault, but that's all the details we have at the moment," Demetriou sad.
"I think alcohol was involved and I think it was the early hours of this morning."
Hurley, who was taken with pick five in last year's national draft, played 10 games this year and is regarded as one of the brightest young prospects in the AFL.
The 19-year-old key position player kicked four goals in the round 22 win over Hawthorn and was also impressive in defence during debut season.
