Football fan prosecuted for hitting steward with inflatable shark (Video)

A football fan has been spared jail for whacking a steward with an inflatable shark.

Grimsby Town fan Kenneth Meech was celebrating his team's 3-1 Conference victory over Barnet in February when the shark attack occurred, the BBC report.

The 1,000-strong crowd of Grimsby fans had taken dozens of inflatables to the game, including dolls, zimmer frames and beach balls.

But the 51-year-old fan got a bit overexcited, hitting a steward over the head with his blow-up shark three times at Barnet's home, The Hive.

Meech was found guilty of the bizarre assault and fined £800 at Willesden Magistrates' Court.

The Mariners fan described himself as 'deflated' after the court's decision. You couldn't make it up.
