On Tuesday night, a fan was arrested after shining a laser into the face of Chelsea forward Mykhailo Mudryk during the match against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal Football Club has condemned the reprehensible behavior of a fan who was arrested for shining a laser into the face of Chelsea forward Mykhailo Mudryk during Tuesday’s match at the Emirates Stadium.
The Ukrainian player was targeted with the laser after coming on as a second-half substitute for the visitors and had previously been close to joining Arsenal before signing with their London rivals.
In response to the incident, an Arsenal spokesperson issued a statement on Wednesday morning, saying, “An arrest has been made following the use of a laser during last night’s match. This behavior is dangerous and totally unacceptable, and we will fully support the police with their enquiries. We will obviously take the strongest possible action.”
The Football Association will also be investigating the matter, and the Metropolitan Police reportedly made three further arrests at the game for ticket touting.
