Man City fan jailed for £10k damage to police van

A Manchester City fan who leapt on to a police van as he celebrated his team's Champions League victory in 2023 has been jailed.

Leon Blackett, 22, jumped up and down on the vehicle with other jubilant fans in Manchester city centre on 10 June, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.

City had just beaten Inter Milan 1-0 in Istanbul to secure the treble of Champions League, FA Cup and Premier League trophies.

Blackett, of Didsbury, pleaded guilty to a football-related disorder offence after he caused more than £10,000 worth of damage to the police van, and was jailed for three months.
