Everton have demanded an apology from police after striker Victor Anichebe was handcuffed by officers who suspected him of planning a jewellery robbery.

The 20-year-old, who is out injured for the rest of the season, was swooped on as he was looking at a shop window in Knutsford, Cheshire.

Police said that officers intervened after CCTV footage appeared to show Anichebe and a friend "acting suspiciously", but released both men without charge.

An eyewitness said Anichebe, walking using crutches after suffering damaged ankle ligaments, reacted furiously, saying: "I'm a footballer - I play for Everton. Why would I want to rob a shop?"

Anichebe is contracted to Everton until summer 2011 and is thought to earn around £20,000-a-week.

Sean Reynolds, 25, told The Sun: "Either Victor or his mate said, 'If I was a white man it wouldn't matter you're being racist'. A crowd was gathering by this stage. It was getting more and more agitated."

Everton said Anichebe has been left "distressed", adding: We would now expect him to receive a full and unreserved apology from the police and both he and the club would then consider the matter closed."

A police spokesman said: "Upon speaking with the two men, a heated dialogue developed in an attempt to ascertain exactly what the two persons were doing outside the jeweller's premises.

"During the course of this exchange, an officer took the decision to restrain one of the two men concerned by applying handcuffs.

"It was subsequently ascertained that there was no criminal conduct whatsoever on behalf of the two men concerned and they were in no way involved in any criminal activity."
