ARSENAL helped police track Scott Law down after the dad allegedly headbutted Roy Keane when the pundit "cheered on" Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Club officials are understood to have worked out Law's identity from electronic ticket purchases – before handing cops his name and address.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Gunners fan Law, 42, broke his nose clashing with Sky Sports pundit Keane, The Sun revealed yesterday.<\/p>\n

Law\u00a0appeared to headbutt\u00a0Keane\u00a0when the former\u00a0Man Utd\u00a0star, cheered a goal from his old team against the Gunners.<\/p>\n

He was arrested and last night bailed.<\/p>\n

Witnesses claim Scott Law confronted Keane after Sunday\u2019s\u00a0Premier League\u00a0match before\u00a0launching a bungled headbutt\u00a0which hit him in the shoulder.<\/p>\n

Onlookers claimed blood was left splattered on the ground of the West Stand of the Gunners\u2019\u00a0Emirates Stadium.<\/p>\n

It is alleged married dad-of-two Law was fuming after Red Devils legend Keane cheered from the punditry studio when his former side seemed to go ahead through\u00a0Alejandro Garnacho\u2019s\u00a088th minute\u00a0strike \u2014 although it was quickly disallowed for offside.<\/p>\n

It is claimed Keane was then set upon as he made his way pitchside for analysis of\u00a0Arsenal\u2019s 3-1 victory.<\/p>\n

Video shared on social media yesterday showed\u00a0fellow\u00a0Sky\u00a0pundit\u00a0Micah Richards\u00a0separating Law from Keane.<\/p>\n

Keane was heard asking for stewards to call\u00a0police\u00a0before Law left the scene.<\/p>\n

Law, of Waltham Abbey,\u00a0Essex, was arrested yesterday on suspicion of ABH.<\/p>\n

He is understood to have been bailed after spending a few hours in custody.<\/p>\n

A source told The Sun: \u201cKeane was giving it to the Arsenal fans when United scored, and it wound some up. He seemed to be provoking them.<\/p>\n

\u201cScott went to the concourse, saw him and headbutted him but he only hit his shoulder and did more damage to himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe broke his nose and Keane didn\u2019t seem to be hurt at all, just a bit shaken up.\u201d<\/p>\n

'SHAKEN'<\/h2>\n

Another fan who witnessed the incident said: \u201cThe fan seemingly tried to headbutt Roy Keane.<\/p>\n

\u201cMicah Richards stepped in and pushed the fan back against the door. I heard the altercation and I was shocked to see the individuals involved.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sources said former\u00a0Republic of Ireland\u00a0midfielder Keane and ex-Man City\u00a0defender Richards, 35, were left \u201cshaken\u201d by the incident but continued with their matchday duties.<\/p>\n

The pair have struck up a firm friendship off the field since meeting through punditry and have appeared in several spin-off shows together.<\/p>\n

Sky Sports will\u00a0review\u00a0security for its pundits and presenters for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n

Keane, who clashed with former Arsenal captain\u00a0Patrick Vieira\u00a0in the tunnel at Arsenal\u2019s old stadium at\u00a0Highbury\u00a0in 2005, was back home with his family yesterday in Hale,\u00a0Cheshire.<\/p>\n

He was pictured taking his two\u00a0dogs\u00a0for a walk\u00a0but refused to comment, covering his face from the cameras with a jumper.<\/p>\n

SEEING RED<\/h2>\n

Richards touched briefly on the incident yesterday while recording The Rest is\u00a0Football\u00a0podcast with Match of the Day\u2019s\u00a0Gary Lineker\u00a0and\u00a0Alan Shearer.<\/p>\n

Lineker asked: \u201cOne of us had an interesting weekend, Micah, you were in the\u00a0news?\u201d<\/p>\n

Richards responded: \u201cOh my word. Gary, I\u2019m not allowed to talk about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lineker then clarified: \u201cBecause it\u2019s under police investigation?\u201d<\/p>\n

Richards confirmed that stating: \u201cExactly, but when I am allowed to talk about it, The Rest Is Football will get it first.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shearer said: \u201cI think the common\u00a0opinion\u00a0is don\u2019t f*** with Big Meeks (Richards)!\u201d<\/p>\n

Referring to the US law about the right to remain silent, Richards replied: \u201cNo comment. I plead the Fifth (Amendment)!\u201d<\/p>\n

Lineker wrapped up the discussion by clarifying: \u201cIt is not something we should trivialise because it is a serious matter and we will wait until the police investigation is done until we discuss that story further.\u201d<\/p>\n

Arsenal said yesterday: \u201cWe are aware of an incident that took place during our match against\u00a0Manchester United\u00a0on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe\u00a0Metropolitan Police\u00a0is conducting an investigation into the matter and we are fully co-operating with their inquiries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Manchester United did not wish to comment.\u00a0Sky Sports\u00a0confirmed: \u201cMicah Richards was acting to defuse a situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Met said: \u201cPolice are investigating an incident at Emirates Stadium on Sunday September 3, during which a man was assaulted.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn Monday September 4, a 42-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault (ABH).<\/p>\n
