Serious assault on an elderly Blue

[City Mike 1969]

Shortly after the match Vs Leeds, after a short exchange with opposition supporters, an older- I’m guessing 62-70 year old - shirt wearing City supporter was attacked by supporters of Leeds United after today’s match.
It happened virtually outside the stadium, close to the to the south stand, on Ashton New Rd.
Whilst not in possession of all the facts, what I saw with my own eyes was said older City supporter get hit by a Leeds supporter from behind. The Blue cracked his head against a bus on his way down and his head also smacked the tarmac on the road.
The ambulance that had obviously picked the guy up went past us further down ANR.
Thoughts are with the assaulted Blue. Any news appreciated.

Shithouse Cnuts Hope you’re ok blue

According to people around at the time the culprit was arrested virtually immediately after the assault took place. I did see the police on the scene immediately, but didn’t see any arrest myself.

I trust you'll be reporting this to your nearest Police Station. Not doubting you, but needs your eye witness account on record
(Edit: also hope the gentleman concerned wasn't badly hurt, and makes a full recovery)

They are cowards. They can't fight sleep but are good at attacking older people and children.

That's Leeds for you. FA cup tie at their place mid 70s they attacked an older blue and his young daughter badly. It was in the national press. Shit bags.

Shithouse support, like Liverpool Shithouse support, lauded by English media at all times.

And some on here wonder why a lot of us detest that club. Seeing that story comes as no surprise to anyone on here who went to Elland Road back in the day.
