• Premier League Police investigate if Cristiano Ronaldo assaulted a young Everton fan

British

police

have reported that they have issued a "conditional warning" to Manchester United footballer

Cristiano Ronaldo

for throwing an Everton fan's mobile to the ground last April.

It is a type of warning that the police often use

against people without a record for minor crimes

, such as drawing graffiti, as described by the UK Government on its official website.

The admonished must admit that he

has committed the infraction

, with which he manages to speed up the legal process and avoid going to trial, although the crime

is recorded on his criminal record

.

"We can confirm that a 37-year-old man appeared and was interviewed on warning in relation to

an alleged criminal assault and damage

," Merseyside Police said.

"The accusations relate to

an incident following the Everton-Manchester United football match

at Goodison Park on Saturday 9 April," security forces said.

"The matter has been resolved with a

conditional warning

. The matter is now closed."

Although the police do not detail the conditions of that reprimand, the Government details that this type of punishment usually entails measures such as

"repairing the damage to property"

caused.

The Portuguese footballer

threw the mobile of a 14-year-old supporter to the ground

after the 1-0 defeat against Everton, as could be seen in images of the incident shared on social networks.

After what happened,

Ronaldo apologized for his behavior

and invited that fan to attend a match at Old Trafford "as a sign of fair play and sportsmanship."
