Coventry fan, 14, hands himself in after Bradley Lowery taunt in Sunderland
Police investigate after an individual in Coventry section displayed an image of Lowery during Sunderland's 3-1 defeat.
Coventry City are investigating footage appearing to show one of their supporters taunting Sunderland with a photo of late supporter Bradley Lowery during their Premier League match, the club said.
Lowery, who died aged six in July 2017, suffered from a rare form of cancer which spreads rapidly across the body. He became known nationally as he accompanied the team on the pitch before matches.
British media reports said a 14-year-old boy had handed himself in to West Midlands police, who launched an investigation after footage circulated on social media appearing to show an individual in the Coventry section pointing to his phone and grinning as he displayed an image of Lowery during Sunderland’s 3-1 defeat on Saturday.
“I hope the club takes appropriate action and the young lad’s family help him understand how hurtful his actions were.”
