Police officer seriously injured as 10 arrested at tense Liverpool v Manchester City clash

A police officer suffered a serious facial injury and ten people were arrested following Liverpool's Premier League match against Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday. The injured officer is recovering at home following an incident on Anfield Road at approximately 6:35pm as supporters exited the stadium. Merseyside Police confirmed that investigations are ongoing using CCTV, witness statements, and camera phone footage.

Among the arrests, five individuals were detained on suspicion of tragedy chanting, one for assaulting a police constable, two for affray, one for assault and drunk and disorderly behavior, and one for throwing items onto the pitch. Chief Inspector Leanne Hobin condemned the violence against officers and criticized tragedy chanting as abhorrent behavior that has no place in sports.
