LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND – NOVEMBER 17: Raheem Sterling of Liverpool in action with Maynor Figueroa of Wigan Athletic during the Barclays Premier League match between Liverpool and Wigan Athletic at Anfield on November 17, 2012 in Liverpool, England.

An officer from the police force, who cannot be named for security reasons, has said:

“Merseyside police can confirm that a 17-year-old male from the Woolton area was interviewed under caution following a report of an assault on Friday, November 2.

“A 27-year-old woman received slight injuries during the incident in the Liverpool 8 area.
