Narrative

Liverpool fans greeted their team's arrival with flares ahead of the clash with City ‘Officers are conducting enquiries, speaking to witnesses and analysing CCTV and camera phone footage.’ Chief inspector Leanne Hobin added: ‘The officers and stewards are there to protect the public and keep them safe, and it is extremely disappointing that an officer has sustained a serious injury while carrying out that duty. ‘Enquiries into the full circumstances are ongoing so that anyone responsible for criminality can be brought to justice.’ Five males were arrested for tragedy chanting, which has been an offence for the last three years.
