Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko: Milan cops went too far

Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko has spoken of being frisked by Milan cops and having gun drawn on a friend.

Bakayoko, who is on loan at AC Milan, was pulled over by cops in Milan earlier this month but footage of the incident only emerged this week.

Police appeared to empty Bakayoko's pockets and threw the contents onto the roof of the police car while two other cops pointed their weapons at the player's vehicle.

One female officer kept her gun trained on another occupant of the vehicle while the incident unfolded.

The 27-year-old said: "Authorities stated it was a mistake and they realised only in real time.

"Being wrong is human, no problem with that, but the way they used those have been a problem for me. I believe they went too far."
