Watch the moment Samuel Eto’o attacked a cameraman outside World Cup stadium
Samuel Eto’o, the former Cameroonian footballer, has been captured attacking a cameraman outside a stadium at the ongoing FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
In the viral footage, Eto’o, who is the president of the Cameroon Football Association, could be seen leaving Stadium 974 following the conclusion of the second-round match between Brazil and Korea on Monday.
The video initially shows the 41-year-old gleefully indulging fans’ demand for selfies and snapshots.
An unknown man with a hand-held camera and microphone approaches Eto’o with some questions.
Shortly, the footage cuts to the four-time African footballer of the year becoming hostile and being held back by his entourage.
He eventually wrestles himself free from the pacifiers and charges toward the cameraman, who is now bending down.
