Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard charged
LIVERPOOL captain Steven Gerrard was today charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and affray following an alleged nightclub brawl.
The Liverpool captain was charged along with two other men who had also been arrested after an alleged altercation outside a late-night bar in Southport. They will appear in court next month.
The venue’s DJ, a 34-year-old local man, required hospital treatment after suffering facial injuries.
Gerrard, 28, was released from Southport police station early this morning. In a statement, a Merseyside Police spokesman said:
“Merseyside Police has charged Steven Gerrard, 28 years, of Formby, John Doran, 29, and Ian Smith, 19 years, both from Huyton, with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and affray following an incident at Bold Street in Southport in the early hours of Monday, December 29. The three men will be appearing at North Sefton Magistrates’ Court on January 23.”
The spokesman said Gerrard and the two other men had been bailed and three other men, aged 18, 31 and 33, who were arrested in connection with the incident were bailed pending further inquiries. The town centre business remained shut yesterday but evidence of a fight inside could be seen through the windows.
Gerrard has been capped by England 70 times and has captained his country on four occasions. He was made an MBE last year and received an honorary fellowship from Liverpool John Moores University.
