Cristiano Ronaldo has been cautioned by police after angrily smashing an autistic boy’s phone to the floor.
The Manchester United striker appeared to slap Jacob Harding’s hand as he left the pitch moments after his side were beaten 1-0 by Everton at Goodison Park last season. Ronaldo later apologised to the 14 year old and earlier this month the Portuguese star was interviewed by police under caution in relation to an alleged assault and criminal damage.
In a statement on Wednesday Merseyside Police said: “We can confirm that a 37-year-old man voluntarily attended and was interviewed under caution in relation to an allegation of assault and criminal damage. The allegation relates to an incident following the Everton v Manchester United football match at Goodison Park on Saturday 9 April.
