Police are investigating after an Arsenal fan allegedly tried to headbutt Sky Sports pundit Roy Keane at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
The man allegedly aimed a headbutt at Keane but did not inflict any serious physical damage on the former Manchester United midfielder.
Video footage on social media showed Keane’s Sky Sports colleague Micah Richards grappling with the man to restrain him.

Sky said in a statement: “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.”
