A 14-year-old boy has been arrested and bailed on suspicion of a public order offence after a video appeared to show a Coventry City fan taunting Sunderland fans with a photograph of Bradley Lowery during a match on October 31. Lowery, a lifelong Sunderland supporter, died in 2017 at the age of six after battling neuroblastoma. West Midlands Police launched an investigation and confirmed the boy had handed himself in. Bradley's mother, Gemma Lowery, expressed her heartbreak over the incident through the Bradley Lowery Foundation, emphasizing that her son deserves to be remembered with love, not hate.
West Midlands Police are working closely with both football clubs and have assured Bradley's family they are keeping them updated on the investigation. Coventry City FC has stated they do not tolerate offensive behavior and are liaising with the relevant authorities to determine the appropriate course of action.
