A football fan who hurled a lit flare at police officers during a Manchester United protest has been banned from attending games for three years.
Michael Anthony James Cusker, 28, was drunk when he threw the pyrotechnic item at officers close to The Lowry Hotel, in Salford, on May 2.
During the afternoon he blocked traffic along Chapel Street, shouted at drivers and clambered onto a passing lorry.

RIO FERDINAND is expecting further fan protests and believes the tribal divisions between supporters are being set aside in a common cause – to force club owners to listen.
His old club Manchester United’s match against Liverpool was postponed on Sunday after a peaceful planned protest escalated into violence and an invasion of the Old Trafford pitch.
Ferdinand did not condone the violence which left police officers injured, but understood where the discontent has come from, and why it is likely such protests will be repeated.
“I’m with the fans,” he told Vibe with Five.
“We don’t want violence and I’m not condoning violence or any type of lawbreaking at all, but these fans have been shunted aside (and told) ‘you’re not a thought, you’re not a consideration’.

A man has been charged following a protest by Manchester United fans.
Michael Anthony James Cusker, 28, was charged with throwing fireworks in a street, use of threatening behaviour and wilful obstruction of the highway following the protest outside The Lowry Hotel in Manchester on Sunday, a spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said.
Cusker, of Winstanley Road, Manchester, was bailed to appear at Manchester and Salford Magistrates’ Court on May 25.
The force spokesman said the incident had been referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct to “ensure complete transparency and independence”.
