Arsenal legend Lehmann struggled to stand and vomited at roadside as new details emerge of Oktoberfest arrest

ARSENAL legend Jens Lehmann vomited twice and failed a breathalyser after being pulled over by police, it has been claimed.

The former goalkeeper was stopped by cops after an evening enjoying Oktoberfest celebrations in Munich last September.

Lehmann is alleged to have been drink driving at the time of the stop, which happened at 1:30am.

Police could reportedly smell alcohol from his breath through the open window of the car.

The 55-year-old staggered after he got out of the car and vomited twice by the roadside, according to Bild.

Lehmann also struggled to produce his driver's license and failed with his first few attempts to do so.

While he was unable to show his warning triangle and first-aid kit and had to hold onto the car to stay upright when opening his boot.

Breath tests had to be abandoned because the ex-Gunners ace was “no longer able to blow” so he was instead taken to a police station for further tests.

Lehmann later went to the Munich Institute of Forensic Medicine for blood tests.

The German has been ordered to appear in court with the prosecutor's office requesting a fine of £60,000.

Lehmann has been in trouble with the law previously having been found guilty of property damage after attacking his neighbour's garage with a chainsaw.

He was handed a suspended prison sentence and fined £112,000 before reaching an out of court settlement with his neighbour worth an estimated £50,000.
