A man has been arrested following the 'serious assault' of a football referee in Wigan at the weekend.
The assault took place at a football pitch in Platt Bridge, during the Platt Bridge v Wigan Rose Remembrance Cup game on Sunday (October 2). Greater Manchester Police (GMP) say they are taking the incident 'extremely seriously', and have urged any members of the public with images of video footage of the event to get in touch.
The referee previously named as Dave Bradshaw was taken to hospital was 'significant but not life threatening' injuries.
