“We have had a report about violence against a rental car. I can not tell you anymore,” security chief Carsten Reenberg said.
Bendtner has a chequered history of off-field problems. In 2014, BT reported that he got partially undressed and rubbed himself up against a taxi before calling the driver “a little whore.”
Bendtner, 30, has forged a nomadic career since leaving Arsenal in 2014. As well as loan spells at Juventus and Sunderland during his time at the Gunners, Bendtner has turned out for Wolfsburg and Nottingham Forest. He is currently with Rosenborg, having scored 23 goals in his first season for the Norwegian champions.
He was left out of Denmark’s World Cup squad due to injury.
