Dedic sees the funny side after bow and arrow police chat
Amar Dedic has had a bit of fun on social media after finding himself quizzed by police this week over an unusual sight on the streets near Newcastle.
Chronicle Live reports that Northumbria Police stopped and questioned the Newcastle United full-back after he was spotted walking around the reservoir on Military Road in the Harlow Hill area while carrying a bow and arrows (Chronicle Live). It's a quiet, semi-rural spot not far from the city, so it's easy to see why passers-by might have been startled enough to call it in.
Rather than let the story become awkward, Dedic chose to laugh it off. The Sun says he broke his silence on the episode in "hilarious fashion", responding with an Instagram comment on a post about his inclusion in Bosnia's latest squad (The Sun). talkSPORT adds detail on exactly what he said, reporting that Dedic compared himself to a Lord of the Rings character while addressing his run-in with officers (talkSPORT).
All three outlets are telling essentially the same tale from different angles: Chronicle Live focuses on the facts of the police encounter itself (Chronicle Live), while The Sun and talkSPORT concentrate on Dedic's light-hearted reaction once the story emerged (The Sun) (talkSPORT). There's no suggestion from any of the reports that the matter went further than a conversation with police, and Dedic's own response suggests he's taken the attention in good spirits.
For Newcastle fans, it's a harmless and amusing off-field moment involving one of the squad's full-backs rather than anything to be concerned about. With the Bosnia squad news also in the mix via The Sun's report (The Sun), it's a reminder that Dedic has international duty on his mind as well, even as this quirky tale does the rounds back on Tyneside.
