Police say they responded to reports of a collision between two cars shortly after 3:15 p.m. on Thursday.

City says no one was injured in the incident.

The 21-year-old Balotelli, who was driving a Bentley, has rarely been out of the headlines since arriving in England in 2010 after a series of off-field misdemeanors.

Earlier Thursday, City manager Roberto Mancini said “every time Mario does something, (it) is like a war.”

Mancini complained there are things “other people on and off the pitch that do worse than Mario and no one says anything.”
