Hornets captain Troy Deeney was threatened with a pepper spray by police after being thrown out from a nightclub.
The 28-year-old striker had been attacked inside the club by a man who was pestering him to pose for a photograph.
Video footage taken outside Levana Bar in Birmingham City Centre shows a policewoman holding up a pepper spray to an angry-looking Deeney’s face as officers attempt to calm the situation.
