The man arrested for a 'racially aggravated assault' at Oakwell on Saturday has been bailed until next month.
The arrest followed a formal complaint made by Barnsley to the EFL and FA about an incident involving their German head coach Daniel Stendel and Fleetwood Town manager Joey Barton following Saturday's 4-2 win for the Reds. Stendel suffered injuries to his face and teeth. The man was questioned this afternoon.
A statement released by South Yorkshire Police this evening reads: "A man arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated public order offence and racially aggravated assault, in connection to an incident at Barnsley Football Club on Saturday 13 April, has been bailed until next month.
"We would ask members of the media and the public to refrain from speculation in relation to this incident, as it could potentially harm the investigation.
"Officers investigating the incident would be keen to speak to anyone who may have caught the incident on camera or who may have mobile phone footage immediately before or after the incident occurred. If you think you can help, please call 101 quoting incident number 326 of 13 April 2019."
