Man comes forward in relation to Watford fan assault

On Monday, police released CCTV images of the attack and a man has contacted the authorities identifying himself on the footage.

"As a result of police releasing the image of a man we wanted to identify in relation to the assault on March 7 in Wolverhampton, a man telephoned officers in Wolverhampton last night and we will be speaking to him later today," ITV News quotes detective inspector Toni Naylor as saying.

The injuries sustained by the supporter have been deemed life threatening.
