The 42-year-old is accused of assault causing actual bodily harm over a confrontation with Keane at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
Footage was posted on social media of fellow Sky Sports pundit Micah Richards stepping in to move the suspect away from Keane.
The confrontation followed Arsenal’s 3-1 victory over Manchester United.
