A man is due to appear in court charged in connection with an alleged attack on Sir Alex Ferguson.

The Manchester United manager was allegedly attacked by a man at Euston station at about 4.30pm on Monday after travelling by train to London.

British Transport Police were called to the scene.

A BTP spokesman confirmed that one of the alleged victims was Sir Alex and said he received injuries to his leg.
