Italian and Liverpool striker, Mario Balotelli is currently under investigation for allegedly threatening a woman who's daughter was seen taking pictures of his Ferrari.
According to reports, the incident took place on Thursday when the 24 year old was on his way to visit his mother in Manchester, England.
Balotelli who was believed to have parked his car on a pavement at Wythenshawe was obviously irritated when he saw a girl taking pictures of his Ferrari which led him to approach the her.
According to claims made by the woman, Balotelli approached her in a threatening way after seeing her taking pictures of his car, which led her to call the police.
The Greater Manchester City Police later released a statement in which they confirmed the incident and made it clear that investigations are ongoing to ascertain the validity of the accusation.
The statement said ; "We received a report of threatening behaviour and we are investigating."
Balotelli is yet to comment on the accusation on him but is still being questioned by the police. Although the scenario isn't so serious, it still sends out a bad signal to football fans around the world about the strikers attitude.
Mario Balotelli who arrived at Liverpool from AC Milan on a £16 million deal in August has fallen under strong criticism from both fans and sport analysts.The latest came in Liverpool's3-nil bashing by an Anchelloti led Real Madrid In the Champions league when Balotelli was spotted swaping shirts with the Réal defender, Pepe after the first-half.
When Liverpool Manager, Brendan Rodgers was questioned about the incident, he said ; "Any action with Balotelli over the shirt swap will of course be kept within ourselves. We had a conversation on the culture in this country and in particular, Liverpool, and that was it; matter closed."
His consistently poor performance is also an issue as he has been able to get only one goal in a total of ten appearances for the Reds which is not even a Barclays Premier league goal.
Speculation suggest that Liverpool might be forced to offload Mario when the Transfer Window opens up in January unless he improves immensely on his currently poor form.
The selling of Liverpools most potent striker last season, Luis Suarez was seen as Good Fortune in the eyes of some football lovers due the unending troubles he brought to the club. To some, he was seen as "A bomb waiting to explode" and his £75 million sellout fee brought even greater joy to them, but the recently poor performance of Liverpool has exposed the great vacuum left by the Uruguayan International who single handedly carried Liverpool to a near Title victory in the Barclays Premier league.
His impressive run while at Liverpool earned him 31 premier league goals, making him the first Liverpool player to ever score up to 30 goals in a season and he was also honoured with the golden shoe award which he shared with Réal Madrid winger and Portuguese international, Christiano Ronaldo.
