The Police have opened an investigation after the video of an alleged assault on Sky Sports pundit Roy Keane appeared on social media.
After Arsenal defeated Manchester United 3-1, Sky said that fellow pundit Micah Richards tried to “defuse” the situation at the Emirates Stadium.
No arrests, according to the Metropolitan Police, although they are looking into an alleged attack that happened after the game on Sunday.
According to Sky, the claimed assault “immediately” followed the social media video.
Based on a report by Football 365, a Sky Sports spokeswoman said: “We understand the police are investigating an alleged assault by a member of the public immediately preceding the footage circulating on social media.
“In the footage seen, Micah Richards was acting to defuse a situation.”
Roy Keane was allegedly headbutted. That’s something i didn’t expect to see. Also surprised Keane was the calm one.
