New video has emerged showing Cristiano Ronaldo lashing out at a fan at Everton’s Goodison Park on Saturday.
On Sunday, Merseyside Police confirmed that it is investigating the incident in which Ronaldo appears to knock a boy’s phone out of his hand, which occurred after Manchester United’s 1–0 loss to relegation-threatened Everton.
“As players were leaving the pitch at 2:30 p.m., it was reported that a boy was assaulted by one of the away team as they left the pitch,” Merseyside Police said in a statement Sunday. “Inquiries are under way and officers are currently working with Everton Football Club to review CCTV (video) footage and are carrying out extensive witness enquiries to establish if an offense has taken place.
