Pete Doherty has been arrested in Germany for allegedly smashing the back window of a car.
The Babyshambles frontman was taken into custody after being accused of throwing a pint glass at a car – believed to be parked at the time – outside the Trinkteufel bar in Berlin shortly before 7am on Saturday morning.
A passer-by is thought to have telephoned the police.
Pete Doherty, seen (l) arriving at his concert at Kesselhaus der Kulturbrauerei last Wednesday, has been accused of smashing the back window of a car parked outside Trinkteufel bar (r) by throwing a pint glass at it
Pete had been thrown out of another bar a short while earlier, and upon arriving at Trinkteufel - which translates as Drink Devil - had been asking staff where he could buy some d***s, according to German newspaper Bild.
A barman said: ‘He was drinking shots and constantly asking where to get co****e.’
Pete was taken to a police station not far from Checkpoint Charlie – the best known crossing point between East and West Germany when the country was separated after the Second World War - where he spent the next three hours.
He was charged with property damage before being released.
A spokesperson for the singer said she had no comment to make about the reported incident.
Last week, it was revealed that Doherty had been pulled off stage at a gig in Munich after launching into a Nazi anthem entitled Deutschlandlied (The Song of Germany) at a festival.
He later made a pubic apology for the gaffe, saying he had not realised the verse was offensive and banned.
Joseph Haydn wrote the music to Deutschlandlied in 1797 and poet August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben penned the lyrics in 1841.
The first stanza of the anthem reads: ‘Germany, Germany above all / Above all in the world.
'When, for protection and defence, it always takes a brotherly stand together. / From the Meuse to the Memel, From the Adige to the Belt, Germany, Germany above everything. Above everything in the world.’
At the time, Germany did not exist as a single state so the suggestion that the German-speaking regions should be unified was regarded as revolutionary.
The song was then used as the national anthem of the Weimar Republic following the Second World War.
However, after Hitler came to power in 1933, only the first stanza was used.
Following the Second World War the first verse was ditched - because of the Nazi connotations - and the country adopted only the third verse to be used in official events.
Now the first verse has become the preserve of right-wing organisations and fascist groups.
Doherty also angered some people by writing a song called Arbeit Macht Frei for former band the Libertines' second album.
Arbeit Macht Frei translates as Work Brings Freedom and was used as a slogan posted over the entrances of Nazi concentration camps, according to Rolling Stone magazine.
