Police have arrested an 18-year-old in connection with an assault on a Watford fan.

The teenager is the third person to be arrested following the incident on Saturday, after the match between Wolves and Watford.

The man was arrested at an address at Fallings Park, Wolverhampton at around 3.30am on Friday.

Previously two people aged 18 and 13 have been arrested on suspicion of involvement in the assault.

Our investigation continues and three people have been arrested.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank people for providing information and I am now appealing to anyone else involved in this incident to come forward.

My team of detectives are determined to trace everyone that was involved, they will identify you, they will get you, and they will knock your door.

Do the right thing, think of this family man with young children and come forward.
