Chelsea loanee and Serie A winner Tiemoue Bakayoko says Italian police 'went too far' after he was held at GUNPOINT while officials stopped and removed him from his vehicle in a shocking case of mistaken identity

Serie A winner Tiemoue Bakayoko has insisted Italian police 'went too far' after he was stopped at gunpoint in a terrifying ordeal that turned out to be a case of mistaken identity.

The departing Chelsea midfielder, who was on loan at AC Milan last season, was pulled over by cops in Milan earlier this month but footage of the incident only emerged this week.

A video re-tweeted by Sport Italia journalist Tancredi Palmeri captured the terrifying incident. A policeman pushed the startled footballer, who made 14 Serie A appearances for the triumphant Rossoneri last season, up against a police car.
