Four professionals questioned by police after 'punch' incident

Four professional rugby league footballers were arrested during a Korn gig on April 20 at the Sydney Entertainment Centre for allegedly fighting.

Ben Pomeroy, Dustin Cooper, Jacob Selmes and Brett Kearney, who all play for the Cronulla Sharks, were questioned by police in the city.

The questioning followed an incident during the gig during which a man alleged he was punched by one of the foursome.

All four players were released without charge, reports Metro.
