Stabbed Irons fan update

|

ClaretandHugh is receiving unconfirmed reports that the stabbing which has seen a Hammers fan taken to hospital looks to have been perpetrated from non football fans.

The victim  – believed to be a 34 years old man -is in hospital after he was knifed near the ground before the 4pm kick off which saw the Hammers collapse to a 4-1 defeat.

And  eye witness  – who claims to have given statements to the police – are claiming a car drew up and individuals piled out before wading into both West Ham and Spurs fans. He added that they certainly did not appear to be fans of ether team.

We were also told that a couple of attempted bottlings took place before the stabbed man was attacked and reportedly airlifted to hospital.

We stress that these reports are as yet unconfirmed by police.
