Man Utd legend Nicky Butt ‘cautioned by police for head-butting security guard’

Former Manchester United star Nicky Butt received a police caution for head-butting a security guard at his 50th birthday party.

The attack is alleged to have taken place in January at Soho Farmhouse in Oxfordshire.

According to The Sun, the attack left the victim nursing facial injuries and fearing he had broken his nose.

The altercation is said to have taken place between 7pm and 8pm after the ex-United midfielder was seen urinating against a wall.

Police investigated the incident and examined CCTV footage – and Butt is now reported to have accepted the caution for inflicting actual bodily harm.

A statement from Thames Valley Police read: ‘The investigation has now concluded. 

‘A man was given a caution for the offence of ABH.’ 

A police spokesman previously confirmed: ‘An assault at a business premises in Great Tew was reported to Thames Valley Police at about 9.15pm on January 24.

‘It is alleged that a man assaulted a member of security.

‘Thames Valley Police is conducting a thorough investigation, including taking a statement from and supporting the victim, obtaining and reviewing any CCTV available and taking witness statements.

‘No arrests have been made at this time.’

The star-studded bash was attended by David and Victoria Beckham as well as several other members of United’s legendary trebble-winning team, including the likes of Gary Neville and Paul Scholes.

After taking a period of time off work, the security guard is said to have returned to work.

Butt, meanwhile, having accepted the caution, is said to have made a charitable donation.
