Watford fan attack: Man, 18, bailed in probe over post Wolves match assault
An 18-year-old man arrested in connection with a violent attack which left Watford fan Nic Cruwys critically ill has been released on police bail.
West Midlands Police said the teenager was bailed until April 8 pending further inquiries into the assault which occurred in Little's Lane on Saturday.
He was arrested on suspicion of wounding at a house in the Wednesfield area at around 4am yesterday.
Detectives have said the arrest is "only the start" of their investigation into the unprovoked attack on 44-year-old Mr Cruwys.
The father-of-two from Hemel Hempstead was put in an induced coma in hospital after being tripped and kicked in the head following Watford's 2-2 draw with Wolves.
An online appeal to raise funds to help Mr Cruwys, set up by Wolves fan Ollie Floyd, has raised more than £25,000.
Mr Cruwys was attacked shortly after 5pm as he made his way to the railway station with friends.
The Express & Star has offered a £1,000 reward to anyone who can provide information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.
Anyone with information is urged to call Wolverhampton's Violent Crime Team on 101 or to pass on information anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
