Police clamp down on 'inconsiderate' football parking after elderly woman falls from wheelchair trying to get around car

Police have clamped down on 'inconsiderate' football parking after an elderly woman fell from her wheelchair when trying to get around a badly parked car. Greater Manchester Police announced they had sized a number of vehicles that had been causing an obstruction during the Manchester United v Arsenal game at Old Trafford on Sunday (September 4).

Among those seized were a BMW and grey Audi which were driven away on the back of a pick up truck away from the stadium. Police warned those heading to future games to park legally or face the same consequences.

One elderly woman had even fallen off her wheelchair when trying to manoeuvre herself off the kerb and around a car which had been left in the middle of the pavement during the match.
