The PDC have released a statement in the wake of new footage of the Cameron Menzies incident at the World Darts Championship emerging.

Menzies suffered a crushing 3-2 defeat to Charlie Manby in round one of the World Darts Championship on Monday.

Manby, 20, fought back to secure a huge win on his Ally Pally debut.

After Manby threw the winning dart, Menzies lost his head and smashed up the water table, throwing several punches at it before being asked to leave the stage by referee Kirk Bevins.

He later apologised for his outburst.

"First of all, I would like to apologise for what happened. I am sorry that I reacted in the manner that I did," the 26th seed from Scotland said.

"It's not an excuse, but I have had a lot of things on my mind recently and I suppose it all just became too much at the end.

"It has not been an easy time for me with my uncle Gary passing away recently. I saw him four days before he died and he gave me a look which told me how much he thought of me.

"Had I won the game against Charlie, my second match would have been on the day of Gary's funeral and that hasn't been lost on me.

"Let me say again, that's no excuse for what I did on the stage. It was the wrong thing to do and I don't want it to take anything away from Charlie. He played well.

"This is not how I would like people to view me. Yes, I can get emotional at times, but not like that and that wasn't right."

On the incident, PDC chief executive Matt Porter said: "I spoke with Cameron and his management before he left the venue, and he knows there is support available from the PDC and the PDPA [Professional Darts Players Association].

"Any incident of this nature is reported to the Darts Regulation Authority for review, but our main priority is the player's health and wellbeing."

After PDC's statement, new footage of Menzies' moment of madness surfaced online.

A video shows him putting his hand over the spark box as Manby celebrated his win.

The 36-year-old stopped the sparks from being activated before smashing the water table.


Menzies was left with a bloodied hand after his defeat at the World Darts Championship.

Manby, meanwhile, meets the winner of Matt Campbell vs. Adam Sevada in round two.
