Derby County supporter arrested for attempted attack on Kelvin Wilson

Derby fan arrested for invading pitch

The Derby County supporter who stormed onto the pitch and attempted to attack Nottingham Forest's Kelvin Wilson during the Championship fixture between the two sides has been arrested.

The Rams fan entered the playing field at the end of the match and appeared to take a swing at Wilson, before Forest defender Jamaal Lascelles brought him to ground.

Local police have since issued a statement confirming that the supporter in question has been taken into custody.

"Tension arose between both sets of supporters towards the end of the game, after Nottingham Forest had scored their second goal," said a police spokesperson.

"A 23-year-old Derby supporter from the south stand entered the playing area and made contact with a Nottingham Forest player.

"The supporter has been arrested, and a joint investigation will be taking place between Derbyshire Police and Derby County."

Forest won the match 2-1 courtesy of a stoppage-time effort by Ben Osborn.
