Bottle 'narrowly missed' Wenger
A 14-year-old girl has been arrested after a bottle was thrown at Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger prior to the FA Cup fifth-round tie with Sheffield United.
The plastic bottle nearly hit the Gunners boss after he and his players pulled up at Bramall Lane on the team bus in front of a “hostile” crowd.
The teenage girl has been released on bail until an interpreter can accompany her to an interview with police because of language difficulties.
Chief superintendent Graham Cassidy, who led the South Yorkshire Police operation, told the Sheffield Star: “The game could have got off to a very bad start in that when the Arsenal coach arrived there was a small and hostile crowd that had gathered to harangue the players.
“A missile was thrown at Arsene Wenger, which narrowly missed him, but he was aware of it and not very happy about the situation.”
