LONDON -- Chelsea captain John Terry was questioned by police Wednesday after knocking down a member of the club's security staff in his car following the team's Champions League loss to Inter Milan and failing go stop.
Chelsea said that Terry's car was surrounded by photographers and fans as he drove out of the Stamford Bridge car park and a member of the club's security staff was knocked to the ground. The police said that the 35-year-old man broke his leg and that Terry did not stop.
The club said Terry, who was driving slowly, knew there was contact with his car but was unaware anyone had been injured.
It said he was driving out of the stadium Tuesday at approximately one to three km/h in a line of traffic exiting the ground.
Chelsea said Terry, after hearing about the injury, spoke to the police and had also been in contact with the staff member to check on his welfare.
Sky Sports News said Terry was also given a breath test.
Metropolitan Police said that the security man had a broken leg and was taken by ambulance to a west London hospital where he was in a stable condition. They said Terry's 4x4 car did not stop at the scene and inquiries into the incident were continuing.
Terry has been in the headlines for several weeks and lost the England captaincy after reports that he had an affair with the ex-girlfriend of national team defender and former Chelsea teammate Wayne Bridge.
Terry, who is married, has said nothing about the alleged affair but Bridge, who had a good chance of going to this year's World Cup in South Africa, has refused to play for England.
