The Police in Sunyani have arrested and placed in custody Alhaji Karim Grusah, Chairman of Kumasi-based King Faisal Football Club for allegedly assaulting a policeman at the Coronation Park during the Onetouch Premier League match between his Club and Kumasi Asante Kotoko.
Alhaji Grusah was alleged to have slapped Sergeant Isaac Adu for preventing him (Grusah) from assaulting referee Reginald Larthbridge for alleged biased officiating of the match.
Chief Superintendent Christian Yohonu, Sunyani Municipal Commander said that just before the recess, Alhaji Grusah moved from the VIP lounge to the Match Commissioner to protest against the referee.
He said during the recess, the Chairman and Founder confronted the referee and made an attempt to assault him but he was prevented by security personnel and went to where Sergeant Adu was escorting referee Larthbridge to the dressing room, Alhaji Grusah followed up with insults and slapped the police sergeant.
The Police Commander said officials of King Faisal rushed to the scene to apologise for Grusah’s action but he was arrested and whisked to the Sunyani police station.
He was later granted police enquiry bail to enable him to send his daughter to Korle Bu Teaching hospital in Accra for a surgical operation but was ordered to report on Thursday to be arraigned before court on the charge of assault of a public officer.
