Police are investigating after a Manchester City fan was left with his face covered in blood after he was attacked before the FA Cup game against Huddersfield Town on Sunday.

Pep Guardiolas side began their defence of the FA Cup on Sunday as they brushed aside Championship outfit Huddersfield 5-0 thanks to an own goal, a double from Phil Foden and goals from Julian Alvarez and Jeremy Doku during a comfortable afternoon for the reigning champions.

However, the game has been overshadowed by unsavoury scenes prior to kick-off as a group of rival fans were filmed fighting on the tram to the stadium before the game. The video posted to social media showed people punching each other while a City fan looked stunned with a face full of blood after allegedly being hit with a pint glass.

People in and around the brawl could be heard shouting leave it before the bloodied youngster, 17, was punched again before slumping backwards and seemingly only held up by the crowd of people behind him, with the clip finishing shortly.

Greater Manchester Police said: At around 1pm yesterday (Sunday 7 January 2024), officers were called to reports of an assault on a Metrolink service heading towards the Etihad Stadium.

A teenager who sustained a head injury was given first aid by Metrolink staff before being taken to hospital. No arrests have been made and enquiries are ongoing.

Following the attack, one of the City fans posted a picture of the youngster with his face all cut. Posting the caption: Huddersfield (h) with a laughing face emoji, he also filmed the pair of them singing a City song in what looked like an underground car park.
