Bendtner, who currently plays for Rosenborg first punched the the man before kicking him as he lay on the ground. According to Mirror (UK), the former Gunners striker however admitted to the accusation because he felt threatened when the driver threw a can towards him.
Having being ordered to pay £176 in compensation, he told the court that he acted in self-defence and was released on appeal. The driver was acquitted of violence but fined £353 for using his phone while driving and not wearing his seatbelt.
