Kaizer Chiefs footballer George Lebese has been released on R1000 bail.
He appeared briefly in the Pretoria Magistrates Court court on Wednesday but the case has been postponed until 9 March, to allow for further investigation.
The footballer apparently spent the night in holding cells on Tuesday after handing himself over to police. Police have since claimed that George was on the run and that he was arrested by them on Tuesday.
George faces charges of assault and malicious damage to property after allegations that he assaulted his girlfriend and smashed her car windows.
