FOUR young cricket fans -- including one from Burnley -- arrested in an outbreak of hooliganism during the presentation at the end of the National Westminster one day international between Australia and Pakistan at Lords, were further remanded on bail until January 8 at Horseferry Road Court in Westminster on Friday.
Aussie cricketer Mike Bevan was hit by a missile during the disturbances at the ground on June 23 this year.
All four accused, including students of 16 and 17, who cannot be named for legal reasons, are charged with affray, using or threatening violence towards another.
The accused are Haroon Qureshi, 19, no occupation given, of Victoria Avenue, East Ham, east London; Pakistan-born Samiullah Khan, 19, student, of Portland Road, South Norwood, south London; the 17-year-old student from Oxford Road, Burnley and the 16-year old from Barking Road, Plaistow, east London.
