Steven Gerrard's fiancee arrestedAug 11 2006

EXCLUSIVE By GREG OKEEFFE and MICHELLE FIDDLER, Liverpool Echo

ALEX Curran was today arrested after a teenage girl was allegedly hit with a bottle in a Liverpool restaurant.

The ECHO understands the 23-year-old fiancee of Reds captain Steven Gerrard is being questioned in connection with a scuffle in the Shangri-la Chinese restaurant on Victoria Street early this morning.

Miss Curran was in the restaurant with a group of friends after a night out in the city centre when an 18-year-old from Merseyside was allegedly hit in the face with a bottle during a row between male and female diners at 2.50am.

The victim suffered a badly swollen face and was today set to have x-rays taken of her injuries.

Today one of her friends, who asked not to be named, said: "It was horrible. We were just having a meal after a night out and there was a fight in the restaurant.

"My mate stood up and started screaming for them to stop fighting and one of the blokes came over to her and was really abusive. He was swearing and ranting and knocked her bag off the table.

"A couple of seconds later someone came over and shoved a bottle in her face.

"We got a taxi to the Royal and spent all night there. It was really upsetting because her eye was all closed over. She could have been blinded."

The ECHO understands that mother-of-two Miss Curran voluntarily decided to help police and drove herself to St Anne Street police station from the home she shares with England?s new vice-captain.

At noon it emerged the Huyton-born mother-of-two had been arrested.

A police spokeswoman said: "We are investigating an alleged assault in the Shangri-la restaurant at about 2.50am today.

"It is believed there was a group of about five men and women involved."
