DJ hurt in alleged Gerrard brawl
The alleged victim of a nightclub brawl for which footballer Steven Gerrard was arrested is a DJ there, police sources confirmed today.
The Liverpool star remains in police custody after the 34-year-old Southport man was taken to hospital with facial injuries.
Sources confirmed the man was an employee of the Lounge Inn, in Southport, Merseyside, where the midfielder and five other men were arrested on suspicion of assault in the early hours of today.
Gerrard's wife, Alex Curran, left a coffee shop close to the police station where Gerrard was being questioned shortly after 2.30pm.
She refused to answer questions from reporters as she walked to her Bentley car and then drove off in the opposite direction from the police station, heading towards Liverpool.
The sister of the Lounge Inn co-owner, Dario Curcillo, said the footballer had been in the club to celebrate his team’s win over Newcastle United earlier in the day.
She said: “As far as I know he comes here regularly and it was just a normal night at the bar.”
She added that her brother was unavailable for comment.
