Former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane has told a court he was left “in shock” after being allegedly “headbutted” through doors during a Premier League football match.The assault by beating charge relates to an incident at Emirates Stadium on September 3 last year, following Arsenal’s 3-1 victory over Manchester United , where ex-Ireland international Keane was working as a pundit.
"I was absolutely not expecting it. The only way I can describe it is that I was in shock. I didn’t expect it to happen, not when I was in my workplace.”On this, Mr Keane told the court: “Micah then gets hold of someone. He was just trying to get a grip of him and make sure he didn’t run off.“ Law then fled the scene after Mr Richards lost his grip, the court heard, before the two pundits headed pitch-side to give their post-match analysis.He claims to have suffered bruising on his chest and arms as a result of the incident.
According to the prosecution, Law then made his way to a life area where he delivered a “forceful headbutt” to Keane’s chest. The defendant then fled the scene but was arrested the following day, it was said.
