Cantona held on assault charges
Print Edition
BRITISH police have arrested former Manchester United great Eric Cantona and cautioned him for assaulting a man in London.
Cantona was briefly taken into custody following the incident that happened in the Primrose Hill area of north London on Wednesday.
When asked about Cantona’s arrest, police confirmed that “a man in his mid-40s was arrested on suspicion of common assault. He was taken into custody and subsequently cautioned for common assault.”
Police said the victim did not require medical assistance.
Cantona, who became a beach soccer coach and an actor after retiring, did not answer a message left on his mobile phone.
In 1995, the former French midfielder was banned for eight months by the English Football Association for attempting a kung fu kick at a Crystal Palace fan.
