England and Liverpool footballer Steven Gerrard has been arrested following an alleged assault.

The incident happened at about 0230 GMT at a pub in Southport. Six men were detained later in a nearby street.

The men, four from Huyton, one from Formby and one from Litherland, remain in police custody.

A 34-year-old man from Southport was taken to hospital with facial injuries which are not believed to be life threatening.

The men from Huyton are aged 33, 31, 29 and 19. A 28-year-old from Formby and an 18-year-old from Litherland are also being questioned.

Gerrard, 28, is Liverpool captain and scored twice in his team's 5-1 victory over Newcastle on Sunday.

When he said that Liverpool didn't hit as many as they should at Newcastle, he weren't fucking kidding

[Steve 10,227]

hes a fucking cock but im sure there will be no punishment by the FA because there a bunch of soft cocks

[Elliott 7]

It's got absolutely nothing to do with the FA. It happened away from the club, football and anything to do with the FA. It's a matter for the Police.

I really hope the authorities are money-resistant or he'll get away without charges.
