From the source

Newcastle’s Amar Dedic is unlikely to face a club sanction after being spotted holding a bow and arrow in the Northumberland countryside and sparking a major police pursuit involving an armed response unit.

Dedic is expected to start Newcastle’s match at Fulham on Saturday following an incident that at one point saw six patrol cars pursue the Bosnia right-back back to his home on the upmarket Darras Hall estate, just outside Ponteland.

Northumbria Police were alerted on Wednesday afternoon when a member of the public spotted Dedic and a friend walking through the Northumberland countryside equipped with bows and arrows.
