Coventry fan, 14, arrested after Bradley Lowery taunt

A 14-year-old Coventry supporter was arrested and bailed after mocking Sunderland fans with a photo of Bradley Lowery during a match.

A 14-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence after appearing to taunt Sunderland supporters using a photo of Bradley Lowery during Saturday's Premier League match between Coventry and Sunderland. The teenager handed himself in to West Midlands Police on Sunday and was released on bail. Lowery, a Sunderland fan, died aged six in 2017 from neuroblastoma, a rare childhood cancer. His mother, Gemma, issued a statement saying she was hurt to see her son's memory used 'in such a cruel way' and questioned whether mocking a child who died from cancer constituted acceptable football banter. Coventry City FC said the club does not tolerate offensive behaviour and will liaise with authorities.
