Following an incident at a Saturday game in Wales’ third tier, a man has been detained on suspicion of assault.
Following the 17 January Ardal North West League game between amateur rivals Trearddur Bay and Porthmadog FC, a 35-year-old was taken into custody, according to North Wales Police.
Tom Taylor was initially declared suspended by Trearddur Bay on Sunday after a video showed him elbowing a Porthmadog FC player in the face.
After the committee’s emergency meeting, they made a second statement revealing that the club had released him.
Social media has seen a lot of footage of the incident at the Gwynedd Y Traeth (The Beach) stadium.
North Wales Police said the video was known, according to a statement from the police.
According to them, “Officers have been conducting inquiries to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the incident.” A 35-year-old man has been detained on suspicion of assault as part of this investigation. At this time, he is still being held by the police.
We would ask the public to refrain from speculating while the investigation is ongoing because “enquiries are ongoing.”
The Football Association of Wales (FAW) announced to BBC Sport Wales that an investigation was being conducted.
Tier-three matches fall under the FAW’s purview, according to a statement. The FAW will be looking into the incident.
Trearddur Bay expressed regret for the incident in a statement announcing Taylor’s release.
Trearddur Bay Football Club stated that it “regrets that the incident should not have taken place” and that it does not condone violence in any way.
The club apologizes to the opposition player, Porthmadog FC, match officials, supporters, and the entire football industry.
While these issues are pending, the club will cooperate fully with any external investigations or disciplinary procedures. It will not make any further comments.
According to a statement from Porthmadog, safety of their player was their top priority.
The club wants to make it clear that Danny Brookwell, our player, is our top priority over his safety and well-being. They claimed that Danny had a concussion and had to leave the game after receiving medical attention.
