"Man City" footballer impersonating comedian was arrested by police (VIDEO) © EuroFootball.com

Comedian Lee Nelson (real name Simon Brodkin) was arrested by the police when he tried to impersonate a player of the "Manchester City" team during a match of the English Premier League between "Everton" and "Manchester City."

In his own TV show, broadcasted on BBC, L. Nelson embodies the character of a footballer - Jason Bent. He constantly jokes about the Premier League, talking about players' hairstyles, love for women, and creating fake interviews.

However, this time the comedian seems to have gone too far - by wearing a "Manchester City" jersey with "Bent 9" written on the back, L. Nelson managed to sneak through security, warmed up on the pitch, and sat on the substitute bench next to the club's coach Roberto Mancini.

Soon the TV star's deception was revealed and he was dragged away by security. It is unclear whether L. Nelson (J. Bent) planned to do something even more crazy, but in any case, he will have to explain himself.
