Tiemoue Bakayoko breaks silence on having gun held to his face by police in Milan

Tiemoue Bakayoko has spoken out on being 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 – on loan at AC Milan from Chelsea – stopped and searched at the checkpoint in a terrifying ordeal.

Video footage shows the central midfielder 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.
