Liverpool's Gerrard Arrested After Brawl

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard was arrested this morning after a fight in a bar in Southport, the British Broadcasting Corp. said.

Six men, including a 28-year-old from Formby outside Liverpool, were arrested after a 34-year-old man was injured in the brawl, the BBC said on its Web site. Gerrard, 28, is Liverpool captain and scored twice in his team's 5-1 victory over Newcastle yesterday.

"A 34-year-old man from Southport was taken to hospital with facial injuries which are not believed to be life threatening,'' the police said in an e-mailed statement.
Liverpool team officials declined to comment.
