Chelsea's Tiemoue Bakayoko held at gunpoint on police car in case of mistaken identity

Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko was the victim of mistaken identity after being stopped at gunpoint by police in Italy.

The incident is said to have taken place at the Porta Garibaldi area in the city of Milan on July 3. Police had set up a roadblock following a shootout between two gangs with Bakayoko stopped and searched by police at the checkpoint in a terrifying ordeal.

Video footage shows the central midfielder - who spent last season on loan at Italian giants Milan, where he made 18 first-team appearances – being restrained by an officer and pushed against the side of a police car at gunpoint. He's then searched before the officer in question appears to realise his mistake.
