Man City firebrand Balotelli evicted from shopping mall over hoodie law

Manchester City star Mario Balotelli was evicted from the Trafford Centre in Greater Centre for wearing a hoodie!

Madcap Balotelli defied a ban on wearing his hood up inside the mall.

And when he was approached by security, the player politely decided to leave rather than abide by the policy.

Mario's latest escapade came just days after he was spotted leaving a strip club 36 hours before his team's Premier League match against Bolton on Saturday.

A source told the Mirror: "He was walking around the centre with his hood up. He was approached by security to be told he had his hood up and that was not acceptable and would he please take it down. He decided to leave the centre at that time."

The source denied the player was booted-out by security for refusing to take down his hood.

"He decided to leave. He was not strong armed or frog-marched or anything like that. There was no scene, it was all very friendly."
