AC Milan midfielder Tiémoué Bakayoko was stopped by officers earlier this month in what Italian police called a “misunderstanding” before he was eventually released, according to CNN.
A video of the July 3 incident was widely circulated on social media and showed a man, later identified as 27-year-old Bakayoko, being searched by an officer up against a police vehicle. Another officer stood close by, pointing a gun at another car.
AC Milan confirmed to CNN that it was Bakayoko being searched in the video but did not offer an official comment on the incident.
