- Story Text: England and Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard was arrested on Monday (December 29) on suspicion of assault, a police source said.
Gerrard, 28, was one of six men arrested in the early hours of the morning after police were called to a fight at a bar in Southport, to the north of Liverpool in north west England.
Merseyside Police confirmed they had arrested a 28-year-old man from the Formby area north of Liverpool on suspicion of assault and said he remained in police custody.
The other five men arrested, also for assault, all came from Liverpool and were aged 33, 31, 29, 19 and 18.
Police said a 34-year-old man from Southport was taken to hospital with facial injuries.
Gerrard, who captained the club when they won the 2005 European Champions League final, scored twice in Sunday's 5-1 Premier League victory over Newcastle United.
A spokeswoman for Liverpool FC, currently top of the league, declined to comment. - Copyright Holder: FILE REUTERS (CAN SELL)
