Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood has been cautioned by police for common assault after an altercation with his former girlfriend.

Wood was arrested on December 2 after police were called to the incident on Claygate High Street in Esher.

Tabloid reports have claimed that Wood and Ekaterina Ivanova, 20, have since split up.

The pair began dating in 2008 while the guitarist was still married to wife Jo Wood.

The couple divorced in November on the grounds of his admitted adultery, ending 24 years of marriage.
