Arrest After Match Footage Emerges
A 14-year-old boy was detained on suspicion of a public order offence after video appeared online showing a supporter at the Premier League game between Coventry and Sunderland holding up a photograph of Bradley Lowery. The teenager was later released on bail with conditions attached. Officers noted the distress the clip caused to the community and the family involved, and they have remained in contact with those affected while working with both clubs.
Remembering Bradley Lowery
Bradley Lowery, a Sunderland supporter, was diagnosed with neuroblastoma and died at the age of six in 2017.
Family Calls for No Retaliation
Bradley Lowery's mother released a statement through the foundation urging supporters to avoid directing threats or hostility at the boy or his relatives. She stressed that her son should be recalled with affection rather than anger and described the use of his photograph in this way as deeply painful. She also noted that the family supports healthy football rivalry but draws a clear line at mocking a child who passed away from cancer. The club has indicated it will cooperate with authorities to address the behaviour shown in the footage.
