Three men have been issued Football Banning Orders following a violent altercation outside The Ruby public house in Coldean Lane, Brighton. The incident occurred after a Premier League fixture between Brighton and Hove Albion and Luton Town on August 12, 2023.
Thomas Miller, Christopher Stevens, and Stephen Lang were each involved in the affray, which unfolded around 8 p.m. after rival supporters gathered at the pub due to delays caused by train cancellations. During the altercation, a 57-year-old man from Buckinghamshire was assaulted, sustaining a brain injury that required hospital treatment. The assault was witnessed by the victim’s son and grandson, who had also attended the match.
