A man was arrested last night after a drone forced play to stop in Liverpool's pre-season friendly against Huddersfield Town.
The football match between Huddersfield Town and Liverpool FC was briefly paused following a drone being flown in to the Galpharm Stadium.
The referee took the decision to briefly stop the match on grounds of safety after the drone was seen approximately an hour in to the game.
Police officers were quickly deployed to the immediate area. The pilot was identified and the drone recovered.
A 37-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident and remains in police custody.
Enquiries are ongoing.
Liverpool went on to win 2-0 after three minutes of extra time.
