A 14-year-old teenager has been arrested on suspicion of mocking the late Sunderland supporter Bradley Lowery during a match involving Coventry City, according to reports.
The incident allegedly occurred during a fixture between Coventry City and Sunderland. Bradley Lowery, a young Sunderland fan who died of neuroblastoma in 2017, became a symbol of courage and was widely celebrated by football fans across England.
Police confirmed the arrest of a 14-year-old male in connection with the alleged offensive behavior. The teenager has been released on bail pending further inquiries.
Sunderland and Coventry City have both condemned any actions that disrespect Lowery's memory. The club issued a statement reaffirming their commitment to tackling hate speech and offensive conduct at matches.
