POLISI Minggu malam menangkap pendukung City yang melemparkan dua koin kepada bek Manchester United, Rio Ferdinand, yang nyaris membutakan matanya.
Koin dilempar dari kerumunan penonton di akhir laga derby di Manchester City, dan membuat wajah sang pemain bertahan ini bersimbah darah dari luka di atas mata kiri.
Kemudian, Ferdinand mendapat perawatan medis di Etihad Stadium, seorang pendukung Blues masuk ke lapangan dan mencoba menyerang Ferdinand.
Kiper City Joe Hart menghalangi serangan tersebut, dan menyeretnya kepada petugas untuk ditangkap.
Mantan bintang tim nasional Inggris, Ferdinand, 34, terkena lemparan koin, setelah tendangan bebas Robin van Persie membuat United unggul 3-2.
Dia menulis di Twitter: "Siapa pun yang melempar koin. Saya tidak percaya cuma uang receh... mestinya minimal koin satu poundsterling!"
Dia bilang, Wayne Rooney menjadi sasaran pelemparan koin ketika mengambil tendangan sudut.
COPS were last night hunting a soccer yob who hurled a 2p coin at Man United ace Rio Ferdinand — almost BLINDING him.
It was thrown from the crowd in the final seconds of the derby match at Manchester City, and left the defender with blood gushing from a wound just above his left eye.
Then, as Ferdinand was treated by the touchline at the Etihad Stadium, a Blues fan ran on to the pitch and tried to attack him again.
City goalkeeper Joe Hart stepped in to stop the yob, who was led away by stewards and arrested.
Ex-England star Ferdinand, 34, made light of the coin incident, which came after Robin van Persie scored United’s 3-2 winner.
He tweeted: “Whoever threw that coin, what a shot! Can’t believe it was a copper 2p... could have at least been a £1 coin!”
He said Wayne Rooney was also pelted with coins as he took a corner.
