Four Cumbrians were arrested after reported “tragedy chanting” at a Carlisle United versus Bradford City match.

Cumbria Police made four arrests on Saturday, January 18, after reported “tragedy chanting” at the football match involving Carlisle United Football Club and Bradford City AFC.

The four people arrested were men, aged between 17 and 20, and were from Cumbria.

The four men were subsequently bailed with investigations continuing.

Chief Superintendent Carl Patrick said: “We had an enhanced policing presence in place to ensure that people could enjoy their day safely.

“I would like to thank the vast majority of people attending the fixture for behaving in a responsible and safe manner.

“Our officers arrested four people after reported tragedy chanting. There is no place for such behaviour, and we will not tolerate this happening in Cumbria.”
