A man has been arrested after police received a barrage of complaints about pub-goer who was seen wearing a T-shirt mocking the Hillsborough disaster.
Police said the 50-year-old man suspect, from Worcester, was detained under public order laws on suspicion of causing alarm or distress by displaying abusive or insulting writing.
Officers from West Mercia Police launched an inquiry on Sunday after a man was seen wearing a t-shirt with offensive wording, relating to the 1989 disaster, in which 96 Liverpool fans died.
A man was asked to leave the Brewers Arms, in the St John's area of Worcester, by the landlord.
West Mercia Police named the arrested man as Paul Grange, aged 50, from Worcester.
Grange has been charged with a Section 5 Public Order offence, relating to the display of threatening and abusive signs and writing, likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.
He has been bailed and will appear at Worcester Magistrates' Court on a date to be confirmed in July.
