A man has been charged with assault and violent disorder in relation to an attack on Liverpool supporter Sean Cox last April prior to the Anfield club hosting Roma in the Champions League semi-final.
The 53-year-old Cox, who is a father of three from Dunboyne in Ireland, was left in a coma and with life-changing injuries following the incident outside Anfield prior to the first leg of the Champions League semi-final tie between the teams.
Merseyside Police said 30-year-old Simone Mastrelli was arrested in Italy on a European Arrest Warrant and was extradited to the United Kingdom ahead of a court appearance on Friday.
