Birmingham City fan awaits sentence for attacking Jack Grealish

A man is set to appear in court today charged with invading the pitch and assault after Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish was punched 10 minutes into the Birmingham City game.

The man, named by West Midlands Police as 27-year-old Paul Mitchell, is set to appear at Birmingham Magistrates' Court today.

Grealish went on to hail it the "best day of his life", recovering from being punched by the Birmingham fan to score the winner in the Second City derby.

Exclusive photos for the Express & Star show the moment Grealish was struck on the side of the head, who ran on to the field less than 10 minutes into the match before throwing a punch from behind the midfielder as he stood in the Birmingham penalty area.

The man was quickly restrained by stewards as several other Villa players rushed in to confront him. He was led away by police, blowing kisses to the crowd as he left.

West Midlands police confirmed late on Sunday: “We’ve this evening charged a man with invading the pitch and assaulting Aston Villa player Jack Grealish during the Second City derby.

“Paul Mitchell, aged 27, of Rubery, has been remanded in custody to appear before B’ham Mags Court tomorrow.”

Grealish thankfully appeared unhurt and was comforted by team-mates and opponents. He went on to net the only goal with a low, angled shot in the second half, leaping jubilantly in to the Villa supporters to celebrate and earning himself a yellow card.

He told Sky Sports Football: “Best day of my life. To come here, captain Aston Villa and score the winner is what dreams are made of, especially for me as a Villa fan.”

Regarding the incident with Mitchell, he added: “I was just unaware at the time, I was walking into position and then just felt a whack around the side of the face.

“Obviously there’s rivalry and stuff in football, but I don’t think there’s any place for that really.

“I just tried to get on with my job. To score the winner was unbelievable. After what happened in the first half I think it was set up for it.”
