Well thats good news.

"Sussex Police published a security camera picture today (Monday 16 October) and urged the man to come forward."

Which means the police have an individual they want to talk to, (pictured in article) and you'd assume/hope the incident in question, from Marseille CCTV.

Now its public and published (from police)........ "allegedly" same chap @Kuipers Supporters Club ?
Well I guess the image published is the one shown, and that is not from a security camera.

Yes that is definitely him.

I was accidentally punched at Villa Park. When they scored their second, bloke in front of me went absolutely mental with rage, punching the back of his seat with full force - except one punch missed and hit me pretty hard on the knee. He knew what he'd done, but no apology, no 'sorry mate'. We all get frustrated at games, but this guy clearly had anger issues. I'm now wondering if it was the same bloke, as I'd know his Villa Park seat number.
In contrast, I was grabbed and kissed by a chap at Wolves after we scored in the promotion season. He apologised and I said it was quite alright. It was the first time since I could remember that someone had given me a meaningful peck.

This is a copy of the photo which was originally on here.

Well done Sussex Police.

Something very similar happened at Liverpool away last year. Again, it was a guy and his teenage son (the latter who was very upset.) it is eerily similar.

I think stewards got involved at Liverpool so maybe they have some information on who it was.

Not the same guy. Both incidents were not far from me. Same trigger though, people not sitting / standing in correct seats.

Hopefully this prick will get his comeuppance from the Old Bill as well as the club now.
Not a legal expert, but doesn't it need to be the French police getting involved if there are to be criminal consequences?

Club can of course impose a ban regardless of jurisdiction; and I'm sure that they will.

There have been cases where the British police go abroad so I wonder if there is something to say that it doesn’t necessarily have to be on British soil?

Forget Police action, let’s face it, under the present climate “it ain’t gonna ‘appen”

This geezer has been outed, he’ll be getting a ban, he’s been shown up on social media, he’s made himself look a disgrace in front of his son.

If none of this bothers him. A heavy fine, community service or even 28 days in the jug certainly won’t.

I think UK courts can invoke extraterritorial jurisdiction for certain offences and deal with it in the UK - and that ABH is one of them. Whether that's the plan here I've no idea - may be that they just want to get all the evidence and pass it to the French police :shrug:

And now every other Albion fan knows what he looks like. Might as well have a target on his back for the next idiot to dish out some justice

British Police have no jurisdiction overseas although they go abroad as advisors and spotters for the local police for football. Unless the French Police go to the hassle of having him deported, (virtually no chance) I don't see any legal consequences for him despite the assailant being an apparent horrible nasty thug. Certain very serious offences committed overseas could potentially have local consequences. Assault isn't one of them.

Once he's identified and he's certain to be now, the club are of course free to do what they like regarding a ban, legal charges or not.
