Boy arrested following Bradley Lowery taunt

A 14-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with a public order offence after a video appeared to show him taunting Sunderland fans using a photo of Bradley Lowery. Bradley Lowery, a Sunderland fan who passed away in 2017 at the age of six due to a rare childhood cancer, was a beloved figure in football. The boy voluntarily surrendered himself to West Midlands Police following the incident during a Premier League match between Coventry City and Sunderland.

Coventry City FC has also acknowledged the footage and pledged to work with authorities to determine the appropriate actions. Bradley Lowery's mother, Gemma, expressed her heartache in an emotional Instagram post, stating that her son's legacy should be remembered with love, not hatred. The football club emphasized that they do not condone such behavior and are cooperating with the relevant authorities. West Midlands Police are keeping the family informed as the investigation continues.
