Police action against Ronaldo revealed after child fan incident (VIDEO)

Ronaldo was involved in an altercation with an autistic child in April

Cristiano Ronaldo has been officially cautioned by police several months after an incident in which he smashed a phone out of an autistic boy's hand as he left the Goodison Park pitch following Manchester United's 1-0 away defeat against Everton in April. 

The Portuguese appeared to take issue with the youngster attempting to take a photograph of him as he exited the pitch, with video footage showing the 37-year-old star slapping the child's wrist.

Ronaldo was subsequently questioned by police earlier this month under caution related to an alleged assault and criminal damage, during which 14-year-old Jacob Harding's phone was broken. It was also reported that the fan sustained a minor injury to his wrist.

And in a statement issued by Merseyside police on Wednesday, they confirmed that a man fitting Ronaldo's description was interviewed under caution.
