Newcastle midfielder Lee Bowyer has been summonsed to appear in court over a public order offence relating to an on-pitch brawl with team-mate Kieron Dyer.
The fracas, which marked a low point in the Magpies disappointing season, came towards the end of the team's 3-0 home defeat by Aston Villa on April 2. The fight was captured by television cameras and witnessed by 52,000 fans at St James' Park. Northumbria Police confirmed that no action will be taken against Dyer, who was deemed to be the defending party in the bust-up. A Northumbria Police spokeswoman said: "After considering advice from the Crown Prosecution Service, it has been decided that Lee Bowyer will be summonsed to attend Newcastle Magistrates' Court at a date to be fixed for an offence under section four of the Public Order Act and that there will no further police action in respect of Kieron Dyer." Northumbria Police launched an investigation into the incident, which was broken up by Toon team-mate Stephen Carr and Villa's Gareth Barry, after a member of the public expressed "concerns". Both players were sent off by the referee and were subsequently banned by the Football Association, with Bowyer receiving a four-match ban and Dyer missing for three games. Bowyer was given a record six-week fine by his club, believed to be around £200,000, and a final warning. |
