Vision has emerged of AFL star, Chris Judd, being involved in a confrontation with an Essendon fan while dining out on Lygon Street in Melbourne.
The footage shows the supporter yelling profanities at the Brownlow medalist and telling him that he will “slap him silly”.
Speaking to Channel Nine on the incident, Judd stated, “Obviously, I’ve got no interest in really fighting anyone – particularly strangers that I don’t know.”
“It was uncomfortable. I guess [I’m] thankful that it didn’t lead to blows but, I certainly felt in a very threatened situation.”
Carlton have confirmed that they will not be taking the matter any further.
The incident emerged just days after Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson was involved in an physical confrontation with a Port Adelaide fan following his sides loss in Adelaide on Saturday night.
In this case, amateur vision also emerged of the premiership coach pushing a fan who Clarkson felt was invading his personal space.

Judd is pure class. An AFL Commissioner in the future. Love his comments,also, about the media and its responsibilities regarding cash for trash. Imagine all the scenarios and snap decisions he was making in those moments. You can see his on field decision making at work. Class.

The guy looked off is rocker on something or mentally ill or a bit of both - i'm sure footballers have to deal with this type of rubbish regularly. Judd handled it well
