Ex-Premier League star Jamie O’Hara has been charged with assaulting a young football fan and will appear in court on November 10.
Former Tottenham, Wolves and Fulham midfielder O'Hara, 31, allegedly lashed out at a 16-year-old during a clash with opposing fans after Billericay Town's 3-2 defeat to Leatherhead in April.
O’Hara had joined the seventh tier club in March.
Home supporters chanted “what a waste of money” in the direction of O’Hara after the final whistle, as he made his way down the tunnel.
Footage posted on social media at the time appeared to show a young fan hold out his hand to shake O'Hara's hand, before pulling it away.
O'Hara is alleged to have then hit out at the boy, before eventually being ushered down the tunnel by teammates and coaching staff
Surrey Police told the Sun: "A 31-year-old man has been summonsed to court in relation to an assault on a teenage boy.
"The incident took place following a football match in Leatherhead on April 15. The man is due to appear at Guildford Magistrates Court on November 10."
