Arsenal midfielder Song charged with malicious wounding after bar brawl

Alex Song has added to Arsenal's troubled summer after being caught up in a late-night bar brawl

The 23-year-old midfielder was charged with malicious wounding after being accused of attacking a student while on holiday in his home town of Douala in Cameroon last month.


Song's representatives told a court hearing he did not touch the student but he faces two years in prison if found guilty.

The revelation comes as Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger wrestles with the prospect of Samir Nasri, Theo Walcott and Cesc Fabregas following Gael Clichy out of the Emirates.

Song has not been arrested and does not have to appear at a court hearing on August 18.

The alleged victim Ludovic Achille Mouaha told an initial hearing: 'I was with my girlfriend. She went to the bathroom but when she hadn't come back after 15 minutes I went to see if something had happened.

'Two bodyguards blocked my way telling me I couldn't use it because Alex Song was inside.

'He then came out and was visibly angry. I ended up in a drain and afterwards went to hospital.'

A representative of Song told the judge: 'Some fans asked for his autograph including a young woman.

'The plaintiff later caused a scuffle and Alex's bodyguards reacted.

'But at no time did Alex lay a hand on the plaintiff.'

LOL you know what she was doing in the bathroom with him right,I think she was giving Alex some brain advice. Alex lives like a Rock Star lol.

Hah, no worries at all. How often do millionares get sent to jail for assault? Songs lawyers will have no problem at all here.

Yea there is no way they would even think about charging him, its just the papers trying to make a big deal out of it.

Puh-lease. No way in hell he's getting jail time. Hell, the guy will probably get paid off a nice ammount and if he's lucky, his GF was impregnated with the Seed of Song.

he prolly tried to get at song for beating his gf... and ended up in a drain by his bodyguards....

coz why would he need to assault him if he got bodyguards....

Oo

Its a set up...by Eto'o.

Pathetic attempt from the sun

We're going to end up losing all our players through various random instances.

he's at the pre season already, if this was true he wouldn't be allowed to leave

it all sounds BS to me
