The Metropolitan Police on Monday said they have arrested a 42-year-old man on suspicion of assault on Roy Keane. Keane was subjected to an alleged headbutt at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
Keane, who was working for Sky Sports in the Arsenal-Man United match, was allegedly headbutted by a fan after an altercation during the game on Sunday afternoon.

A video of Roy Keane and fellow Sky Sports commentator Micah Richards confronting a man has gone viral on social media. It’s unclear if the individual in the video is the same man that was detained.
Both pundits are said to have been left shaken following the incident.
The Metropolitan Police said: “Police are investigating an incident at Emirates Stadium on Sunday, 3 September, during which a man was assaulted.
“On Monday, 4 September, a 42-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault. The man has been taken into police custody. Enquiries are ongoing.”
Sky Sports has verified on their website that the former Man United captain and City right-back had provided police statements.
“We understand the police are investigating an alleged assault by a member of the public immediately preceding the footage circulating on social media,” a company spokeswoman said in a statement.
“In the footage seen, Micah Richards was acting to diffuse a situation.”
Keane hides face
Roy Keane is apparently not too keen to show off his scars after being headbutted at the Emirates on Sunday. The former player on Monday hid his face when he went out for a walk with his pet dogs.
The United legend, dressed in a white t-shirt and baggy grey shorts, went down a residential street with a black jumper covering his face.
