Roy Keane offers to meet fan after banter escalates, court hears

Roy Keane Incident at Arsenal Stadium

Former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane was involved in an altercation with an Arsenal fan during a football match that escalated to a physical confrontation. The incident took place on September 3rd last year following Arsenal’s 3-1 victory over Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium.

The Allegations

Scott Law, the Arsenal fan, has pleaded not guilty to a charge of common assault against Mr. Keane. It is claimed that Law headbutted Keane through doors at the stadium. Law’s defense team presented CCTV footage in court showing Keane allegedly elbowing Law in the face.

The Police Testimony

During cross-examination, Detective Constable Phil Dickinson stated that while there may have been contact between Keane and Law, it did not appear to be a deliberate elbow to the face. The defense barrister questioned the officer about Keane’s actions, suggesting that Keane had raised his elbow aggressively.

The Defendant’s Account

In his statement to the police, Law described a verbal exchange between him and Keane escalating into a more aggressive situation. Law mentioned feeling scared as Keane gestured for a physical confrontation outside the stadium. Law claimed that he acted in self-defense when Keane approached him aggressively.

Further Evidence

Additional CCTV footage presented in court showed Law leaving the Emirates Stadium on the day of the incident. Law’s statement and a custody photo from the following day, showing an injury to his nose, were also presented as part of the evidence.

Police Investigation

After the match, footage of the incident involving Keane and Law was widely shared on social media. The police were unable to trace the original source of the footage, which had been circulated extensively online.

The trial regarding the incident is ongoing, with both sides presenting their arguments and evidence in court.
