A Belgian Olympic judo star was arrested after breaking into a Rio hotel and fighting with a martial arts expert receptionist, according to eyewitness reports. Dirk Van Tichelt got a black eye in the brawl with the jujitsu trained receptionist, whom he accused of hiding a woman at the hotel who allegedly stole his phone. 

The 32-year-old had been out celebrating winning his bronze medal in the 73kg judo category on Monday.

It is claimed the thief then grabbed a mobile phone from his training partner and ran into the hotel.

Incensed, Van Tichelt chased the woman - and claimed she was hiding inside the Best Western Hotel in Copacabana in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
