The_Rev Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Eric Cantona has been arrested and cautioned for assaulting a man in London on Wednesday. The former Manchester United star was taken into custody by police following a lunchtime altercation in the city's trendy Primrose Hill area. It was not known on Thursday whether his victim, who did not require medical assistance, planned to press charges. The Metropolitan Police said in a statement: "Police were called to Regents Park Road, NW1, at 12.55pm on Wednesday 12th March, following reports of an assault. "Officers from Camden Borough attended and a man in his mid-40s was arrested on suspicion of common assault. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-united/10694827/Eric-Cantona-arrested-for-assault-in-London.html Primrose Hill, it's really nice around there too, much more classy than chinning a bloke in Croydon like last time.

The_Rev Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Wasn't that the night Bozzy flattened Klinsman? Yes.
