Liverpool's Mario Balotelli will not face action over 'threat'

Mario Balotelli: Moved to Liverpool in the summer

Mario Balotelli will not face police action over reports he threatened a woman for taking pictures of his Ferrari.

Greater Manchester Police were called last Thursday "following reports of threatening behaviour" involving the Liverpool striker, who is understood to have been visiting his mother's home.

But having spoken to the woman who had made the initial call, officers found no reason to continue the investigation or speak to the Italy international.

A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said: "Police were called to Pewsey Road, Wythenshawe, just after 3pm on Thursday 23 October 2014, following reports of threatening behaviour.

"Officers have since spoken to the complainant and no criminal offences were disclosed and no crime recorded. No further action will be taken."
