Liverpool captain remains in custody after officers were called to an incident in Bold Street at about 2.30am.

The disturbance was at the Lounge Inn, a modern restaurant close to the junction of Bold Street and Stanley Street.

Merseyside Police said the 28-year-old and five other men were arrested on suspicion of assault.

A spokesman said: "Merseyside Police is investigating an assault that took place in the early hours of Monday December 29 on Bold Street in Southport.

"At around 2.30am this morning officers attended a disturbance at a licensed premises on Bold Street.

"Six men were arrested on suspicion of section 20 assault on Lord Street.

"The men, aged 33, 31, 29 and 19, who all come from the Huyton area, a 28-year-old man from Formby and an 18-year-old man from Litherland remain in police custody.

"A 34-year-old man from Southport was taken to hospital with facial injuries which are not believed to be life threatening.

Gerrard went out with friends following his side's 5-1 victory over Newcastle United at St James' Park.

The Reds captain, who scored twice, hailed his table-topping Liverpool side as the best he has played in.

Speaking after the game, Gerrard said: "I think it's important for us to remain humble, keep our feet on the ground and keep working hard."

Liverpool FC said it would not comment on the alleged incident.

The Lounge Inn eatery converts into a late-night club venue with live music and DJs. No-one was available to comment.

The well-to-do seaside town is a popular venue for wealthy footballers looking for a night out.

Gerrard has been capped by England 70 times and has captained his country on four occasions.

He was made an MBE last year and received an honorary fellowship from Liverpool John Moores University.
