Nicklas Bendtner has posted a picture of his electronic ankle tag after he was sentenced to 50 days in prison for assaulting a taxi driver.

The former Arsenal, who found himself in a fight with a driver from Dantaxi in Copenhagen back in September, reportedly broke a man's jaw in the scuffle after kicking and punching him.

He also refused to pay the £4.80 fare while out with his girlfriend, Philine Roepstorff.

Bendtner posted the following picture on social media: "Swipe to the left."

According to the Danish newspaper BT, the incident was first brought to Copenhagen Police's attention on Sunday night.

"I can confirm that there has been a serious assault on one of our drivers tonight," Dantaxi's Rasmus Krochin told BT (via a rough translation).

"The driver is currently on the operating table with a broken jaw. Our director was informed about [it] this morning."

Copenhagen Police security chief Carsten Reenberg added: "We have had a report about violence against a rental car. I can not tell you any more."

One Reddit user wrote: "Can't really support a guy like that even if he was on my team. Should be put in jail, TBH. If he gets off just because he is rich, it's a big f**king slap to all the taxi drivers of that company."

Another user said: "Danish football in the headlines for all the wrong reasons this past week.
