Man City’s Bellamy Punches ManU Fan
Manchester City’s Craig Bellamy, the forward who scored twice in Sunday’s 4-3 loss at Manchester United, may have more than just EPL standings to worry about in the coming days. Police announced that they will begin an investigation into an incident that occurred shortly after Michael Owen’s winner in stoppage time, in which Bellamy appeared to strike a United fan who had run onto the pitch.
“At the end of the derby between Manchester United and Manchester City at Old Trafford, a member of the public ran on to the pitch, and was detained by police and security staff,” a police spokesman said. “During this time, there was an altercation between the man and a player from Manchester City FC.
“No formal complaint has been made by either party but police are continuing to make inquiries.”
In addition to the police, the Football Association will also conduct their own investigation. A decision is likely to come at some point today.
