Police make arrests after Edinburgh derby attacks

Police have made an arrest over an alleged assault on an assistant referee at Wednesday’s Edinburgh derby, which also saw Hibernian manager Neil Lennon and Hearts goalkeeper Zdenek Zlamal floored by attacks. Zlamal said he was punched by a fan in the Hibs end as he went to retrieve the ball and Lennon was hit in the face by a pound coin seconds after Hearts had a stoppage-time winner disallowed. Chief inspector Murray Starkey, match commander, said: “I can confirm we are investigating two separate incidents involving the Hearts goalkeeper and the Hibernian manager during the match. A 25-year-old man has been arrested and charged in relation to an assault involving the assistant referee. A total of five arrests have been made.“
