The mother of the son who was affected by a smoke bomb thrown from Liverpool supporters into the away section during their 2-0 win over Chelsea has revealed that the culprit is still yet to be identified.
Last month, the Reds secured a vital victory over the Blues to keep alive their title hopes - but the match was marred by an incident which left a nine-year-old Chelsea supporter with special needs requiring first-aid treatment.
Donte Patterson-Stanley had to be taken to the stadium's first aid area after inhaling the smoke, where paramedics checked him over and immediately put him on a nebuliser to open up his airways.
He had red, itchy and watery eyes and was coughing non-stop as a result. The experience left the youngster 'confused and anxious'.
His mother, Frances Stanley, has told Sportsmail that Merseyside Police are yet to find the person responsible for the incident on April 14. Nearly a month on, Stanley has revealed that Tuesday night was the first time the police had contacted her since that day at Anfield.
'I got a phone call yesterday [Tuesday] evening. They wanted to get more details regarding myself and Donte.
'My son is now classed as a victim of crime regarding the events that happened on April 14 with the smoke bomb being thrown into the away end. They're still not able to find the person that threw it though it seems.
'Donte is OK now apart from having a slight eye infection for nearly two weeks which only cleared up after I got antibiotic eye drops from him. And yes [Tuesday] was the first communication I’ve had from Merseyside Police.'
