Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A Watford supporter is in a critical condition in hospital after an unprovoked assault in Wolverhampton on Saturday following the 2-2 draw between the clubs.
The 44-year-old was with a group of friends making their way to the train station to return home to Hemel Hempstead just after 5pm when they were attacked in Littles Lane.
Detective Sergeant Adam Keen from the force’s CID, said: “The group of friends were completely outnumbered and the victim suffered a severe head injury which has left him in a critical condition in hospital.
“His family have been informed and we are in the process of taking statements from witnesses and locating any CCTV which might have captured those responsible for the attack.
“I would urge anyone with information which will help our investigation to contact me as soon as possible on 101.”
The 2-2 draw in the Championship was an ill-tempered affair, with a late dismissal for either side.
