Man bailed after arrest in connection with attack on Watford fan

An 18-year-old man who was arrested in connection with a street attack on a Watford fan in Wolverhampton last Saturday has been released on police bail.

West Midlands Police said the man had been bailed until April 8 pending further inquiries into the assault.

He was arrested on suspicion of wounding at a house in the Wednesfield area of Wolverhampton at about 4am yesterday.

Detectives said the arrest was "only the start" of their investigation into the unprovoked attack on 44-year-old Watford fan Nick Cruwys.

Mr Cruwys, a father of two, was put in an induced coma in hospital after being tripped and kicked in the head following Watford's 2-2 draw at Wolves.

He was attacked in Little's Lane, Wolverhampton, as he made his way to the railway station with friends shortly after 5pm.

Local newspaper The Wolverhampton Express and Star has offered a £1,000 reward to anyone who can provide information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.
