Shropshire teen to face no charges over coin thrown at Albion's Chris Brunt
A Shropshire teenager arrested after a coin was thrown at West Bromwich Albion's Chris Brunt will face no further action.
The 17-year-old was given a caution for using threatening words, Thames Valley Police said.
The Northern Ireland player was hit in the face by the coin after the Baggies' FA Cup match against Reading on February 20.
Brunt suffered a cut under his left eye after he was struck by the 50p when he went to give a young Albion fan his shirt.
West Brom had lost 3-1 to the Championship side in the fifth round tie at the Madejski Stadium.
A spokeswoman for Thames Valley Police said: "A 17-year-old boy has been given a youth caution for using threatening or abusive words or behaviour or disorderly behaviour, likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.
"No further action was taken in relation to throwing a missile on to a football playing area."
Brunt, who has played 313 games for the Baggies, said he was 'disgusted' and 'ashamed' at being hit.
Fans organised a banner in honour of the former club captain and held a charity collection following the incident, raising £4,500.
