A female cop kept her gun trained on another occupant of the player’s car.

However, it appears to gradually dawn on the police that they have the wrong person and quickly holder their weapons and console the midfielder with a gently pat on the back.

‘Shocking footage of Milan’s Bakayoko in Milan’s downtown held at gunpoint by police cause taken for someone else,’ tweeted Tancredi.

‘Check when one of cop goes telling to the colleague searching him that it’s not the suspect but a Milan player, and the cop saying “WHO?!?”
