LIVERPOOL FC star Jamie Carragher has been arrested and cautioned by police for common assault.

 

The Anfield player, 30, attended at a Merseyside police station yesterday to be questioned over a fracas on a busy road close to the star’s home.

 

Carragher assaulted another man on Liverpool Road, Crosby, at around 9am on Tuesday as he made his way to training at Melwood.

 

A witness called police to report two men were arguing by the side of the road and named the Bootle-born player, who is also Liverpool’s vice-captain, as one of the men.

 

Later that day, police received a complaint from the second man and Carragher was informed officers wanted to speak to him.

 

An appointment was made for him to see the police and when he went to a police station yesterday with his solicitor, Carragher was formally interviewed and accepted his caution. Accepting a caution is an admission of guilt in the eyes of the law.

 

Common assault is the lowest form of assault and can include anything from spitting to shoving.

 

A Merseyside Police spokesman said: “We can confirm that a 30-year-old man from the Blundellsands area received a police caution for common assault in relation to an incident on Liverpool Road, Crosby, on Tuesday February 26.”

Shoving someone is common assault?!

Legally, you can assault someone without even touching them.

[Eiler99]

Common assault is for girls.

psychic attack? certainly should be criminal

[Bo Benn]

You have got to love the term Common Assault. Very British if I may say so.

 

Right now I'm imagining, in a very Monty Pythonesque way, what and Uncommon or Special Assault would look like.

Any form of unlawful touching can constitute a common assault.

It doesn't have to be touching.

an "assault" is any act by by which a person intentionally or recklessly causes another to apprehend immediate unlawful violence

 

So if you jump near someone awailin' and a screechin' and all causing a ruckuss, you can scare them and its assualt.

I didn't say it did. However, common assault is commonly charged as 'common assault by beating'. Its incredibly unusual for an individual to be cautioned or charged for an assault that didn't involve contact.

 

No one would ever be charged with common assault in your example for instance. They would be charged with a public order offence, probably section 5, if anything.

Is it assault if you bore them stupid?

You mean the ones which actually made a lot of sense and Rafa has endorsed today?

what if you shadow-box near their face ?

 

Or trap a fart in a jam jar and release it under their nose ?

[Big E]

Endorsed? I'd call it damage limitation, with - shock horror - a positive slant.

posh assault. cuffing someone around the chops with a monogrammed leather glove. or kicking f*** out of victoria beckham.

[Spiblish]

I'll tend to differ then - would rather he did think that way and would be shocked if Rafa did not too

[oakie bob]

Liverpool Road is a nightmare to drive down at 9am with stupid parents dropping there dharlings off at St Marys and Merchant Taylors, can blame him for shoving someone
