Man left woman needing urgent help during Manchester United match after hurling flare he bought off Amazon into crowd
21.06.2022 - 12:19 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
A Master's student who threw a flare during a Manchester United match, leaving a disabled woman in the crowd needing urgent first aid, has been banned from all football grounds for three years. Amar Raithatha, 26, from Leicester, bought three flares from Amazon and travelled up to Manchester for Leicester City's game against United in April.
He 'concealed' one of them and got into the stadium, later igniting and throwing it during the match. A court heard the blue smoke flare was launched towards a lower tier area of the ground after Leicester scored.
It landed near to the feet of a 69-year-old woman sitting in a section for supporters with disabilities. She was 'engulfed' in blue smoke, the court heard, which caused her eyes to sting, and needed first aid attention. Fortunately she suffered no serious injuries.
Raithatha, of Whetstone, Leicester, pleaded guilty to offences of common assault, possessing a flare at a sporting event and throwing a missile. At Tameside magistrates court on Monday, he was sentenced to a 12 month community order consisting of 80 hours of unpaid work.
Raithatha was also ordered to pay £200 in compensation and £85 costs. The three year football banning order means he must not be within a mile of a football stadium, other than for legitimate reasons, the Crown Prosecution Service said after the case.
Adrian Hollamby, senior crown prosecutor, said after the sentencing hearing: "Amar Raithatha admitted buying three flares on Amazon. He travelled from Leicester to Manchester, concealed a flare on entry to the stadium and during the game he ignited and threw it.
"His reckless actions caused a fan to suffer smoke inhalation. Football-related offences cause harm to law abiding fans, those who work
