BAKAYOKO REACT AFTER GUNPOINT SEARCH: MILAN POLICE PUT MY LIFE IN DANGER
Read Time:1 Minute, 37 Second
Tiemoue Bakayoko has claimed that the gunpoint search he underwent by Milan police put his life “in danger.”
Police stopped the Chelsea loanee midfielder for AC Milan as they looked for a suspect involved in a shooting.
The incident, which occurred two weeks ago, was captured on camera and went viral this week while Milan police defended their actions by emphasising how serious the situation was.
And on Thursday, 27-year-old Bakayoko shared a video on social media in which he discussed his experience.
“Making mistakes is human, according to Bakayoko. “I don’t mind acknowledging it, but the techniques they employed are questionable.
“It needs to be made known that in the video you don’t see everything, perhaps just the most calm part.
“I found myself with a gun a metre away from me, and [so did] the passenger. They really put our lives in danger.
“The consequences could have been more serious if I had not remained calm and if I had not been recognised in time.”
The gunpoint search was described in a statement Milan police released to Reuters earlier in the week.
It should be highlighted that the search took place in an operating setting that was appropriate for the use of the highest security precautions, according to the statement.
“Also as a function of self-protection, and [it] was carried out in a manner absolutely consistent with the type of alarm in progress.
“Once the person had been identified and [it had been] established that he was not involved, the service was resumed without any kind of remark from the person concerned.”
Bakayoko is midway through a two-year loan at Milan, who he helped to a first Serie A title in 11 years last season.
It is his second loan spell at the San Siro after he spent the 2018-19 campaign on loan there. He made 18 appearances for Milan in all competitions during their title-winning season.
