AN arrest has been made after a “large-scale” fight broke out between Tranmere Rover and MK Don fans following Saturday's fixture between the League Two sides. 

At around 5pm on Saturday, January 13 fans began fighting outside Prenton Park stadium after the match had ended.

The fighting then continued onto Prenton Road East and Ingleborough Road.

Following enquiries, a 16-year-old male from Bidston, was arrested on suspicion of affray and possession of an offensive weapon in a public place.

An investigation is ongoing to identify other suspects who were involved in the incident and Merseyside Police is appealing for anyone with information to come forward.

Wirral Local Policing Superintendent, Matthew Moscrop, said: “Our policing of any football match puts the safety of supporters first, it is at the heart of everything we do. We will always make sure we do everything we can to keep home and away fans safe.

“Our message to the small minority of fans intent on planning or carrying out violence or disorder at any match is that this type of behaviour is unacceptable and will simply not be tolerated. We can and do identify those responsible for such incidents and will issue sanctions including Banning Orders.

“We will be working closely with both clubs to investigate the incident on Saturday and I want to thank the vast majority of supporters who attended the game in good spirits.

“I would ask anyone who witnessed anything or anyone with information to come forward and we will take appropriate action.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact @MerPolCC, call 101 or @CrimestoppersUK anonymously on 0800 555 111.
