In a shocking incident during Friday’s football match between Sheffield Wednesday and Sunderland, two men were arrested by South Yorkshire Police after allegedly mocking a six-year-old cancer victim, Bradley Lowery, who passed away in 2017.
The arrest, made on Saturday evening, was in connection with potential public order offences. Disturbing images circulated online depict Sheffield Wednesday fans holding up a phone to Sunderland supporters, displaying a picture of Bradley. South Yorkshire Police stated that the arrested men, aged 31 and 27, were reported to have committed an act outraging public decency.
