Two men have been arrested on suspicion of outraging public decency after Bradley Lowery's death was "mocked" at a football match between Sheffield Wednesday and Sunderland.
South Yorkshire Police said they arrested the two men, aged 31 and 27, on Saturday (September 30) and they were in police custody.
Police earlier said they were investigating after fans appeared to mock the death of mascot Bradley during Friday's match at Hillsborough.
The brave Sunderland fan captured the nation's heart during his battle with neuroblastoma, but succumbed to the illness aged six in 2017.
He acted as a mascot for his beloved club and in the months before his death, led England out at Wembley alongside former Black Cats striker Jermain Defoe.
A spokesman for South Yorkshire Police said: "Officers have arrested two men in connection to an ongoing investigation into public order offences following a football match.
"We are in the early stages of our investigation and continue to urge anyone who believes they have information that can assist to get in touch online, via live chat or by calling 101."
