Six arrested at York City v Oldham play-off clash

A boy, 16, was among six people arrested over incidents at York City's National League semi-final play-off match against Oldham Athletic on Tuesday, police have said.

The teenager, from York, was held after a fight outside the Community Stadium, while a man, 42, also from the city, was held on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker.

Both were later released and would be interviewed "in due course", according to a North Yorkshire Police spokesperson.

Meanwhile, two men from Oldham, aged 26 and 37, were arrested after reports of racist abuse at the ground, and a man from Oldham, 20, and a man from Sefton, 26, were arrested seperately on suspicion of throwing flares inside the stadium.

The man from Sefton was also arrested on suspicion of possessing cannabis, officers said.

All four were released on bail pending further investigations, the force spokesperson added.
