A Leeds United fan in his 60s was assaulted with a knife outside Norwich's stadium after a key soccer match.

The supporter sustained non-life-threatening facial injuries and was treated on-site by medical personnel.

Authorities have detained two suspects in connection with the attack.

Norwich City FC is actively assisting law enforcement in the hunt for the assailants.

The incident occurred after a goalless draw in the first leg of the promotion play-off, with the next game due on Thursday.

There will be a heightened police presence at the upcoming match to ensure supporter safety.

Leeds United has commended the rapid response of emergency services and called for public assistance in the investigation.
