Police have arrested two more men in connection with the assault on Watford FC fan, Nic Cruwys.

West Midlands Police have confirmed that the men, who are both aged 18 and from the Wednesfield area, were arrested on April 21 and 22 on suspicion of wounding and violent disorder.

They have been released on bail while detectives continue their inquiries into the attack, which took place on March 7, in Little's Lane, Wolverhampton, following the Watford clash against Wolves.

The attack left the 44-year-old father of two from Hemel Hempstead in a specialist care ward.

The latest arrests bring the number of people detained over the assault to eleven.

Five other men and four teenage boys are also on police bail in connection with the attack - all with strict conditions to report to a police station daily and not to enter Wolverhampton city centre on match days.

All eleven will be spoken to again by detectives in May.

Inquiries into the assault remain ongoing and detectives continue to appeal for details about what happened.
