  • Man on trial for assault of Roy Keane at Emirates Stadium Assault

    Roy Keane, a former footballer working as a Sky Sports pundit, was allegedly headbutted by Scott Law, a 43-year-old man from Waltham Abbey, Essex, at the Emirates Stadium in London on September 3, 2023, following Arsenal's 3-1 victory over Manchester United. Law was charged with common assault via post on February 13, 2024, and pleaded not guilty at Highbury Magistrates' Court on March 14, 2024, after which he was released on unconditional bail. The two-day trial began on May 29, 2024, at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court, where CCTV footage of the incident was shown. Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards testified that he grappled with Law during the confrontation, and the court heard Keane was left physically shaken up.
