Man denies assaulting Roy Keane after Arsenal v Man United

Scott Law, 43, pleaded not guilty to a charge of common assault at Highbury Magistrates’ Court over an incident at Emirates Stadium in September.

A 43-YEAR-OLD MAN has denied assaulting former Republic of Ireland and Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane who was allegedly headbutted at a football match.

Scott Law, of Waltham Abbey, Essex, pleaded not guilty to a charge of common assault when he appeared at Highbury Magistrates’ Court today.

The assault by beating charge relates to an incident at Emirates Stadium on 3 September last year, following Arsenal’s 3-1 victory over Manchester United, where ex-Ireland international Keane was working as a pundit.

Footage was posted on social media of fellow Sky Sports pundit Micah Richards stepping in to calm an apparent confrontation.

Law is to face a two-day trial at the same court on 29 and 30 May.

He was released on unconditional bail until his trial.

Law was charged via post on 13 February.
