A SUNDERLAND fan whose team have not won at home for almost a year was arrested after pulling his pants down at the Stadium of Light.

Fellow supporters said the fan had also defecated on his seat during the 3-1 defeat to Reading at the Stadium of Light, though the club denied it.

A club spokesman said the teenage fan had been arrested and the matter was in the hands of Northumbria Police.

A force spokeswoman said she could not check details as the incident had not been reported to the control room.

Rumours about the incident, including photos of the suspect, were shared on message boards and social media.

One fan wrote on the Ready to Go forum: "What sort of filthy animal even does something like this? He should be locked in a cage."
