Dad's anger as girl, 15, hurt by pint pot 'missile'

FATHER SAYS DAUGHTER 'COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED' BY OBJECT THROWN DURING BLUES MATCH

THE dad of a teenage Manchester City fan who had to have a gash on her head glued after being hit by a pint pot 'weighed down with coins' has said she could have been killed.

The man's 15-year-old daughter is a huge Blues fan and the pair are regulars at matches home and away.

However, their trip to the Etihad for Thursday night's Carabao Cup clash against Liverpool turned into a disaster when she was hit by a missile thrown from the section above them which was filled with 5,500 visiting supporters.

The victim was treated by medics at the ground for a deep cut on the back of her head which had to be glueding her, and several of the fans around her, covered in blood. "Someone has got beer into the stands, then filled it with coins and wanged it" her dad told the M.E.N.

"It just came from nowhere. And the sound it made was something I will never forget.

"I have never experienced anything like it in my life. It was a mixture of anger and worry at the same time in unbearable quantities. Fortunately, my wife was brilliant.

"As were those who were sat around us. We alerted the stewards and they took us to the medical centre in the ground.
