Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli has allegedly been involved in a brawl in Italy.

Corriere della Sera says Balotelli was at a club called Coco Beach in Lonato on Saturday night.

It is alleged Balotelli took some selfies with a group of youngsters who were about to leave on a bus.

The situation somehow degenerated into a brawl, though it's unclear what exactly happened. Some claim that the player simply walked away as the youngsters argued among themselves, others say that he was actively involved in the fight and that he ran after the bus and forced himself onto it.

One 33-year-old involved in the incident was hospitalised and had to have three fingers amputated. Reportedly he was trying to escape the scene, but he caught his fingers in the ticket-machine inside the bus.
