Man charged in relation to Sean Cox assault.
An Italian man has been extradited to the UK in connection with an assault on Irish man Sean Cox outside Anfield last year.
Mr Cox, from Dunboyne in Co Meath, was seriously injured in an attack before Liverpool’s Champions League semi-final against AS Roma last April.
30-year-old Simone Mastrelli from Rome was yesterday extradited to England after being arrested in the Italian capital last year.
He has been charged with assault and violent disorder.
He is due to appear before a court in Liverpool this afternoon.
