Two Men Arrested For Attempted MURDER After Liverpool Fan Is Attacked By Roma Supporters
Two men have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a Liverpool supporter was victim of an unprovoked attack by Roma fans ahead of the two sides' Champions League meeting at Anfield on Tuesday night.
A group of around 35 to 40 supporters of the Italian side, many brandishing belts and at least one holding a hammer, knocked a 53-year-old Liverpool fan to the floor and left him needing an ambulance.
A police statement read: 'Merseyside Police can confirm that two men, aged 25 and 26 years from Rome, have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a 53-year-old man was seriously injured before the Champions League semi-final game this evening (Tuesday, 24 April 2018).
