A Leicester City fan has described how he was "in the wrong place at the wrong time" when he was arrested by Spanish police following trouble in Madrid.

Andy Rudkin, 27, from Oakham, Rutland, said he and his father saw scuffles with police unfold on Tuesday.

He said as they walked away they were charged by officers and his father was "whacked" with a baton.

The pair, along with six other men, have been handed four-month suspended prison sentences.
