Kyle Walker is facing an investigation by Cheshire police after CCTV footage appeared to show the Manchester City footballer “exposing himself in a Manchester bar”.

According to a report in The Sun, the 32-year-old was drinking with friends in a Manchester venue on the Sunday after City’s 2-0 Premier League win over Newcastle. A video on the Sun’s website appears to show Walker dropping his trousers in front of two women who he then engaged in conversation.

Under the Sexual Offences Act 2003, a person commits indecent exposure if they intentionally expose their genitals and intend that someone will see them and be caused alarm or distress.

Cheshire police said in a statement that the force had been made aware of a video circulating on social media in relation to an indecent exposure which allegedly occurred in the Wilmslow area. Enquiries in relation to the incident are in the early stages and no arrests have been made at this time, the statement added.
