Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis has vowed to provide full support to a Forest fan who sustained serious injuries following a violent train attack. The incident, which occurred after the club’s recent match, has sparked outrage among fans and prompted a swift response from both club officials and local authorities.
Reports indicate that the supporter was assaulted on a train returning from the game, leaving him with severe injuries that required urgent medical attention. Eyewitnesses described the attack as “unprovoked and brutal,” leading to heightened calls for improved security for football supporters traveling to and from matches.
In a statement, Marinakis expressed his deep concern and solidarity with the victim and his family.
“We are heartbroken by this senseless act of violence. The safety of our fans is a top priority, and we will ensure that the victim receives all necessary support,” he said.
The club has since confirmed that it is working closely with the police to assist in the investigation and to identify those responsible. Forest fans have taken to social media to condemn the attack and rally around the injured supporter, using the hashtag #JusticeForForestFan.
This incident comes at a time when the Football Association (FA) and law enforcement agencies are intensifying efforts to combat violence linked to football events. Marinakis’ promise underscores the club’s ongoing commitment to fan welfare and its zero-tolerance stance on any form of violence.
As investigations continue, Nottingham Forest has urged all supporters to remain vigilant and report any suspicious behavior when traveling to matches.
