The brawl broke out at the Emirates as Arsenal played Man Utd
Keane, 52, was celebrating his former team’s goal against Arsenal when he was attacked, Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court heard.
But Law claims he was just rushing to the toilet when the Sky Sports presenter ambushed him and called him a “fat bitch”.
He also claims an “aggressive” Keane gestured to “find him outside” during the scuffle.
The video now shows the former football player allegedly elbowing a fan in the face after the fight.
Keane’s Sky Sports colleague Micah Richards then stepped in to restrain Law before the alleged attacker fled the scene.
Richards was heard saying: “Are you crazy? Are you angry? Apologize.”
A pundit later said: “Someone has to arrest him, he’s just attacked Roy Keane, don’t let him go.”
JPs heard today that Keane did not elbow Law in the face during the chaos.
DC Phillip Dickinson, from the Met’s Public Order Unit, said: “I don’t believe it was a deliberate elbow to the face looking at the footage.
“There may have been contact, but it doesn’t look like a deliberate elbow to the face in my opinion.”

But barrister Charles Sherrard KC called the claims “absolute nonsense”.
It came after a barrister yesterday accused Keane of gaining “fame” from his reputation as a “tough man” while under fire for infamous attacks throughout his career.
He also mentioned Keane who holds the record for the most red cards in English football.
Mr Sherrard recounted the 2001 horror attack on Alf-Inge Haaland – telling the court how the former footballer later revealed he “wanted to hurt him”.
He then suggested that Keane had used “gratuitous violence” by punching Law in the face.
The lawyer said: “How do you stop someone getting away with an elbow in the face – with a bent arm?
“That was your way of revenge. You were the only person who committed illegal violence. There was no need for that, was there?
“The injury to Mr. Law’s nose was caused by you, in that way, at that moment.”

But when he gave evidence, Keane denied all the allegations and the court was told he was actually carrying a bag in both hands at the time.
He said: “I was attacked in the workplace as a professional and I was trying to stop him from escaping.
“That was my only intention.”
Keane claimed he and Richards were heading down for a final analysis of the match when there was contact with his face which sent him backwards through a set of goals.
The expert continued: “The only way I can describe it is that I was in shock. I didn’t expect this to happen, not while I was in my workplace.”
Keane told the court he saw the attacker being restrained by Richards, who was trying to make sure he didn’t “get away”.
The soccer player then started yelling for someone to “call the police” as his fellow pundit loosened his grip on Law, who ran away.
Keane, who suffered bruises to his chest and arms, added: “We conceded the last two goals but that was the least of our worries.”
The court heard the former footballers had been commentating on the game from a glass studio before the attack on September 3.
Law was sitting at the front of the room when he noticed Keane celebrating the Utd goal, which was later written off by VAR.
Inside Roy Keane and Micah Richards’ unusual relationship
Roy Keane and Micah Richards may have been separated by Manchester as players.
But they were thieves since they formed an unlikely friendship as experts.
The duo initially appeared to be chalk and cheese as they appeared on Sky Sports.
But despite their different personalities, they share a deep respect.
Fun-loving former City star Richards, 35, once said of his notoriously grumpy United pal: “I never thought we’d have this relationship. He’s an absolute pleasure to work with.
– I’m afraid of him.
Ahead of Euro 2020, the pair starred in their own show together and their on-screen chemistry and friendship was clear for all to see.
A five-episode series called “Micah and Roy’s Journey to Wembley” followed the pair during that summer’s European Championships.
Prosecutor Simon Jones told the court this was the “catalyst” for the “shocking and unlawful” attack.
“Hyped-up” Law then made his way to the area where he delivered a “powerful headbutt” to Keane’s chest – knocking him backwards.
The married father fled the scene after the fight but was arrested the next day, it said.
He told officers in a prepared statement that Keane “came at him in an aggressive manner” – forcing him to throw his head back in self-defence.
Law said: “During the game there was what I would consider to be banter between myself and Mr Keane.
“The banter became more aggressive when Mr. Keane motioned for me to meet outside.”
Law told police he was a “keen football fan” and had seen Keane behaving violently on the football pitch before, adding that he was “scared” at the time of the incident.
He claimed that during a “natural break in the game” he went to the toilet and was approached by Keane in a “very aggressive manner”, adding: “His face looked angry.”
The law dismisses the charge of simple assault. The trial continues.
