Aggressive Incident
While talking with other fans in the corridor, an unexpected conflict arose. One supporter, clearly unhappy, approached Frank, grabbed his hair, and started pulling it.
In a video that quickly went viral on social media, you can hear the aggressor cursing at Frank, repeating the phrase 'f*** off'.
Other fans attempted to intervene to stop the attack, but the aggressor tried to attack Frank once again.
After the match, Frank did not appear shaken; his posts on social media indicated that he enjoyed the atmosphere in the stadium.
He said: “Yes, it was a bit strange! At first, I thought he was joking, but then he started pulling my hair and called me 'attention square'.”
“The whole day was filled with hundreds of positive interactions, but just a few people can ruin that!”
Challenge Continues
Frank, 29, hopes this was an isolated incident. “I will always try to focus on the positive and hope it stays that way,” he noted.
On October 5th, he plans to celebrate the anniversary of his challenge, during which he wants to grow his hair to 25 cm and donate it to the charity Little Princess Trust.
Frank pointed out that despite the difficulties with hair at 18 cm, he is excited about continuing his challenge to raise money for MINDUK and spread positivity among Manchester United fans.
