Bailey was interviewed by police in relation to the incident, which was claimed to have taken place in the Jamaica international’s private box at Villa Park after a 4-0 win over Everton on August 20.

A man was said to have entered the box in the Trinity Road Stand and requested a photo and autograph, after which an argument ensued. The player’s pregnant partner and four-year-old son are understood to have been present at the scene.
