A Liverpool supporter was left seriously injured after being attacked by a rival fan following a match at Anfield
Liverpool: A Liverpool fan named Michael Muldoon is recovering after a brutal attack by a rival supporter. This incident happened right after the match against Manchester City at Anfield.
The 54-year-old was leaving the stadium when a Manchester City fan punched him in the face. The hit knocked him down, and he hit his head on the curb, leaving him unconscious for nearly five minutes.
Michael was rushed to the hospital, where doctors said he was lucky to be alive after such a serious injury. He needed stitches for his head wound, which was pretty scary for his family.
His daughter, Charlotte, is urging anyone with information about the attack to come forward. She explained that her dad was just walking to meet his brother and friends when the assault happened.
Charlotte described how the attacker pulled her dad’s scarf and then hit him. It’s heartbreaking to think about how quickly things can turn dangerous.
Michael is a dedicated Liverpool fan and has been to countless games, including the famous Champions League matches. His family was really worried when they heard about the attack, and the drive to the hospital felt like an eternity.
After the attack, he had to go to the hospital frequently for treatment. Initially, his wound was stapled, but it didn’t heal well, so they had to stitch it up later.
Being self-employed, Michael has missed work and has had to rely on his family for support during his recovery. It’s been tough for him, especially since he loves going to the gym and watching Liverpool play.
Charlotte mentioned that this incident has affected the whole family more than it has affected Michael. They were just grateful to spend Christmas together, as it could have turned out much worse.
Merseyside Police are investigating the incident. They witnessed the attack and quickly arrested a 21-year-old man on suspicion of assault. They’re asking anyone who saw what happened or has any video footage to reach out.
It’s a reminder of how dangerous things can get in the heat of the moment, and everyone is hoping for justice for Michael.
