Six people have now been arrested and charged in connection with the gang assault of a Raith Rovers supporter.

The 17-year-old was set upon following his team’s away game against Dunfermline Athletic last Tuesday.

The teenager was taken to hospital after the attack, with both Fife clubs condemning the incident.

Police Scotland launched a probe and arrested and charged three males – aged 15, 17 and 20 – in connection with the case.

On Monday, the force confirmed a further three male youths had been arrested and charged, aged 14, 15 and 16.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “They have been released on an undertaking to appear at Dunfermline Sheriff Court at a later date.

“Enquiries are ongoing.”

Following the assault, both Scottish Championship teams vowed to identify the offenders. Anyone caught has been warned they will be banned from Dunfermline’s KDM Group East End Park.

The teenager’s hearing aid was said to have fallen out during the assault, reportedly causing it to break.

Section North West, a Dunfermline Athletic fan club, condemned the attack and has offered to contribute towards the cost of replacing the device.
