It's at the very, very, very minor end of the assault scale. Plus it happened on a sports field (yes I know the ballboy isn't a player but still involved)
If the Police took action every time a player assaulted another then the courts would be clogged up with cases and Roy Keane would probably be facing a death penalty.
The player has been punished. He'll probably be punished more but is it really in the public interest to pursue a case against him? Doubtful, especially if the ballboy doesn't want anything to do with it.
