A Grimsby Town fan has reportedly suffered a head injury from attending the fixture on Saturday.

They are looking to speak to a man about a serious assault.

A man in his 30s suffered a serious head injury following an assault on the grounds.

A spokesperson for Derbyshire Constabulary said:

” A serious assault occurred during the game, at around 4 pm at the Donkey Derby near to the ground. A Grimsby fan in his 30s suffered a serious head injury during the disturbance which involved several fans from both clubs”.

” The man pictured was in the Donkey Derby before the incident and investigating officers want to speak to him”.

” Anyone who recognises the man is asked to contact Derbyshire Police- with reference 22*187483″.

According to reports, around 5 Grimsby supporters were arrested, with more arrests expected.

PC Adam Collins, a dedicated Chesterfield FC officer said ” We will be reviewing CCTV, including high-resolution drone footage, to identify those involved”.

We also worked closely with colleagues from Humberside Police– and will continue to do so to identify travelling fans involved in any criminality.”.
