Cheshire Police are investigating Manchester City defender Kyle Walker following allegations of 'flashing' at a bar in Wilmslow.

Cheshire Police are investigating Manchester City defender Kyle Walker following allegations of 'flashing' at a bar in Wilmslow.

The Sun have released CCTV footage of the 32-year-old at the Manchester venue on Sunday, around 24 hours after helping Man City win 2-0 against Newcastle United at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The national newspaper claims that Walker pulled down his tracksuit bottoms on two occasions and exposed himself while drinking with friends.

Walker, who is married to his wife Annie, is also alleged to have snogged a woman and 'pawed at one of his friends' breasts'.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, a spokesperson for Cheshire Constabulary said: "On Wednesday 8 March, Cheshire police were made aware of a video circulating on social media in relation to an indecent exposure which allegedly occurred in the Wilmslow area.

"Enquiries in relation to the incident are in the early stages and no arrests have been made at this time."

Man City and Walker's representatives are understood to have declined to comment on the incident and view the defender's personal life as a private matter.

A report from The Athletic, meanwhile, claims that the Citizens do not intending to fine Walker or suspend him based on the video evidence.

The Sexual Offences Act 2003 states that indecent exposure is committed when a person intentionally exposes their genitals and intends that someone will see them and be caused alarm or distress.

A Women's Aid spokesperson told The Sun: "Whether done to shock, for a so-called laugh, or to intimidate, for those affected by indecent exposure there can be long-term effects, upset and trauma.

"It can give the person exposing themselves a sense of power in the situation.

"And if there are no repercussions, it possibly gives them the confidence to see what they can get away with next time."

Pep Guardiola's side were given a two-day break following the victory against Newcastle, and the first-team squad, including Walker, reported back to training on Tuesday morning.

Man City, who sit second in the Premier League table and five points behind leaders Arsenal, are next in action when they travel to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday evening.
