He said he was knocked over by a push from behind and hit his face on the metal structure.

The manager at the time of the assault was Daniel Stendel.
In his testimony, Mr Barton denied being aggressive towards his opponent and stated that he did not recall ever meeting anyone in the tunnel.
He denied there were any tensions between them during the match, but admitted using "industrial language" after the handshake.
Mr Barton ran past Nathan Kirby and "shoulder-barge" Mr Stendel.
Even if it had been an accident, it was possible for Mr Barton to have been unaware of what happened, according to Mr Barton's barrister.
