Controversial party-boy and former Sydney councillor Salim Mehajer has been arrested in European party capital, Ibiza.

Mr Mehajer was allegedly involved in an altercation with a local taxi driver and was seen being handcuffed and put into a police van, A Current Affair exclusively reported.

It is unclear if Mr Mehajer was charged, and he would not elaborate on the incident when he arrived home to Sydney on Monday night.

A Current Affair reported the footage was filmed on Friday on the party island of Ibiza, Spain.

Footage reportedly showed police restraining Mr Mehajer and two friends after they were called when a cab driver claimed Mr Mehajer had attempted to kick him from inside the cab.

Mr Mehajer, the former deputy mayor of Auburn in Sydney, had been on a European holiday.
