Midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko, who joined Milan on loan from Chelsea last season, has faced a particularly tense standoff with Italian police after taking aim with a pistol and searched in traffic.
The 27-year-old Serie A winner was pulled from his car and immobilized by police to another man who was being frisked while other officers pulled guns.
Video of the incident shows Bakayoko looking embarrassed and did not resist as officers cleaned out her pockets and stroked her.
Another police officer approached the scene of the crime and apparently told colleagues the identity of the suspect, leaving the detainers with surprised expressions.
Milan police released a statement saying the incident took place in early July.
They said Bakayoko and his friend matched the descriptions of the two men involved in the shooting that day.
“The search was carried out on July 3. The reason was the shooting that took place a few hours ago in the area. Both match the description of the suspect. One of them is black in a green shirt. That’s why he aims the gun.”
Bakayoko joined Chelsea in 2017 for a fee of £40m but was loaned out to AC Milan, Monaco and Napoli after a setback at Stamford Bridge.
