Former Chelsea Midfielder and AC Milan star, Tiemoue Bakayoko, was mistakenly stopped by police in Italy, in a terrifying ordeal that turned out to be a case of mistaken identity.
The 27-year-old Scudetto winner was reportedly pulled over by cops in Milan.
A video tweeted by Sport Italia journalist, Tancredi Palmeri, captured the terrifying incident.
Two policemen with guns drawn pushed the startled footballer, who made 14 Serie A appearances for the triumphant Rossoneri last season, up against a police car.
A female cop kept her gun trained on another occupant of the player’s car.
However, it appears to gradually dawn on the police that they have the wrong person and quickly hold their weapons and console the midfielder with a gentle pat on the back.
The police officer who was doing the frisking is then left embarrassed as he appears to pat Bakayoko on the back as a way of apologising for the misunderstanding.
Shocking footage of Milan’s Bakayoko in Milan’s downtown held at gunpoint by police cause taken for someone else.
Check when one of cop goes telling to the colleague searching him that it’s not the suspect but a Milan player, and the cop saying “WHO?!?”
