Authorities are currently seeking the public’s assistance in identifying an individual who allegedly threw a bottle at the referee during a match between York City FC and Eastleigh earlier this month. The incident occurred at the LNER Stadium in York on 6th April, as the referee was leaving the pitch to head towards the tunnel at the conclusion of the match.
North Yorkshire Police have reported that the suspect was seen leaving the stadium with a small child immediately after the incident. Law enforcement officials are eager to speak with a man who was captured on CCTV footage. Despite the poor quality of the image, a police spokesperson stressed that any information provided could potentially aid their ongoing investigation.
The match ended with Eastleigh securing a 0-1 victory in the National League encounter. Members of the public who may have relevant information are strongly urged to step forward and assist the authorities in addressing this matter.
