Getty ImagesA man accused of throwing a vape onto the pitch during a Leeds United game has had his case dismissed after he was wrongly identified.
Ryan Sharp, 28, was due to appear at Leeds Magistrates’ Court on Monday after denying throwing the object at Elland Road during the club’s tie against Tottenham Hotspur on 4 October.
The BBC understands his case was discontinued after a police evidence review revealed he did not carry out the offence.
Mr Sharp previously pleaded not guilty to a single charge of throwing a missile onto a football playing area.
The BBC has contacted West Yorkshire Police for comment.
