As with any physical assault witnessed by a member of the public, the police should be contacted and informed. A crime number will be issued and the victim approached by the police to see if a complaint is to be made so that investigations follow.I'd imagine there is more than one witness to this crime.........did anybody else see it?Why should this incident be treated any differently to somebody being assaulted in the street by somebody who is incidentally, shit at football.Saying that i agree with above, let him play. He is a danger to himself on the football field and offers nothing positive to that particular football club and may well contribute further to their championship demise .
