London police have received an accusation of sexual assault dating back 20 years, following media reports about accusations against comedian and actor Russell Brand.

The statement from the Met Police says the assault took place in 2003 in central London's Soho.

Brand's accused of sexual assaults and rape dating from between 2006 and 2013.

UK correspondent Enda Brady says this has led to several stand-up performances being outright cancelled.
