Premier League footballer ‘threatened with gun’ by agent on London street
Agent arrested and questioned over allegations of blackmail and driving without a licence as well as a firearm offence after incident in Barnet in September
A Premier League footballer was allegedly threatened with a gun on a street in north London by a leading football agent.
The agent, who is in his 30s and has acted for a number of top-flight players, was then arrested after the incident in Barnet in September. The Metropolitan Police has said another man, believed to be a relative of the footballer, was also threatened.
The agent, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has been questioned over allegations of blackmail and driving without a licence as well as a firearm offence.
A statement from the Met Police said that police were called at 11.14pm on Saturday, September 6 “to reports a man in his 20s had been threatened with a firearm on Cockfosters Parade, Barnet”.
“Officers spoke to the victim and during the course of their investigation it was also reported another man in his 20s had also allegedly been blackmailed and threatened by the same individual.
“No injuries were reported in either incident. A 31-year-old man was arrested on Monday, September 8 on suspicion of possession of firearms with intent, blackmail and driving without a licence. He has been bailed while inquiries continue.”
According to a source quoted in The Sun, which first reported the details of the incident, the player “was understandably shaken up”.
“He reported it right away,” the source said. “It was the right thing to do for his safety. He has been supported by his friends and club and they all hope it will not impact his performances.”
