Luke Littler Explodes at Fan After Being 'Grabbed' in Shock Hotel Clash
Luke Littler furiously hit out at a fan after claiming to be 'grabbed' from behind at a hotel in Prague.
Littler is in Prague for the Gambrinus Czech Darts Open, which will see a 48-player field competing for the £30,000 top prize at the PVA Expo from September 5-7.
The No.2 seed opens his campaign with a second round clash against Cameron Menzies on Saturday as he will be looking to snatch the title away from defending champion Luke Humphries.
Littler arrived in Prague late on Friday and was greeted by a group of frenzied fans, who wanted to take pictures with the world champion.

But the 18-year-old was allegedly 'grabbed' from behind by a fan.
He was also verbally abused, with a fan 'shouting' at him and his father, according to Littler himself.
Littler shared a picture of his hotel room, accompanied with the message: "Just came to the hotel in Prague got a few pictures baring [sic] in mind it's 20 past 11 here it's busy so got a few pictures with a few people and as I've gone to walk off someone has grabbed me and wanted a picture, you don't grab someone just ask nice how hard is it."
He added: "And for the fella who came up to me and my dad shouting oi and then saying my behaviour is bad and I'm not bigger and better than anyone DO NOT GRAB ME FROM BEHIND because that's bad behaviour not me because as soon as he's grabbed I said do not grab me and walked away."
Littler's experience in Europe - particular Germany - has been hostile given the crowd reception he has received in Berlin and Munich.
He threatened to boycott events in Germany but is set to appear at the German Darts Championship in Hildesheim.
Littler will be hoping to win the Czech Darts Open title, having had successive wins at the World Matchplay, Australian Darts Masters and the New Zealand Darts Masters.
Not to mention last week's Flanders Darts Trophy triumph.
