A man arrested after homophobic comments were made at the Leicester City v Brighton football match at the weekend has been charged.

Jason Holmes, 44, of Mossgate, Leicester, has been charged with chanting indecently under Section 3 of the Football Offences Act.

He will be appearing at Leicester Magistrates’ Court on September 14.

A second man, aged 21, who was arrested on suspicion of making obscene gestures was given a conditional caution.

Three people were ejected from the ground for disorderly behaviour.

Two were Brighton fans and one was a Leicester City fan.

Their details will be passed on to the respective clubs for them to consider their attendance at future matches.

Leicester City has issued a statement saying it is “disappointed” such abuse took place and it is “committed to creating a passionate, inclusive, welcoming environment at King Power Stadium.”

It added that staff had recently undertaken specialist training to help identify offensive behaviour, including homophobic abuse.
