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. It makes me sick to read.
