Six teenagers have been charged in connection with the attack that left Watford FC fan Nic Cruwys fighting for his life.

The father-of-two was put into an induced coma after he was attacked on Saturday, March 7, following Watford's 2-2 draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Detectives have charged six people in connection with the attack, the oldest of whom is 18 years old. 

Three 18-year-olds and a 14-year-old boy – who cannot be named for legal reasons - were charged on Sunday with wounding with intent.

These were Daniel Lloyd, a student, 18, of Tillington Street, Stafford, Joseph Lister, a carpenter, 18, of Palmer Close, Wednesfield and Robert Beech, 18, an estate agent, of Springhill Road, Wednesfield.

Ryan Meer, an 18-year-old scaffolder, was also charged with wounding with intent on Monday, August 3. A 14-year-old boy was also charged with the same offence.

The men are due to appear before Wolverhampton Magistrates’ Court on 18 September. The two boys are due before Wolverhampton Youth Court on 20 September.

An 18-year-old and a 17-year-old remain on police bail while five others will have no further action taken against them.

Detective Sergeant Adam Keen said: “I would like to thank everyone who has come forward with information following the various appeals we have made during this investigation.

“Our enquiries are not yet over and we are still working to get justice for Nic and his family as they continue to help Nic on his road to recovery.”
