Newcastle defender Amar Dedic detained by police after being seen with bow and arrows near Newcastle, Digi Mart USA News (Northumberland, England): Newcastle defender Amar Dedic was intercepted Wednesday near the English city after being seen with a bow and arrows, according to the publisher’s report. A major police operation was deployed before his arrest.
According to the Daily Mail, as cited by the publisher, Dedic, a Premier League defender for Newcastle, found himself at the center of a significant police operation Wednesday afternoon after he was spotted with a bow and arrows in the city. Alerted by a concerned witness, police deployed at least six vehicles, including unmarked cars and response units.
Accompanied by a friend, the 24-year-old Bosnian player, who came through Olympique de Marseille, was ultimately apprehended in Darras Hall, about eleven kilometers from the location of the report. The British newspaper said officers searched the vehicle and seized the equipment.
The newspaper reported that the two men had used their arrows for recreational purposes. No danger to the public was identified, although the precise circumstances of the incident remain to be clarified.
A local police spokesperson said, “The investigation is ongoing.”
The scene also drew an unexpected presence: Newcastle goalkeeper Mark Gillespie and former defender Paul Dummett were reportedly passing by by chance and stopped to offer assistance to police officers.
Recruited for 35 million euros from Benfica last summer, Dedic has impressed at right-back after a disappointing spell at Marseille. According to the Daily Mail, Newcastle does not plan any disciplinary sanction against him, although his behavior is considered particularly reckless.
The defender is expected to be available for Saturday’s trip to Fulham, where the Magpies will try to end a run of four defeats in five matches.
