Oasis fan ‘left bruised after Liam's maracas wrestled away from her'
Leaving the stage on Sunday, Liam Gallagher, the band's lead singer, threw his tambourine to one side of the Wembley crowd and a pair of tied maracas to the other.
The latter landed straight in the hands of Chantal Arpino, a 42-year-old mortgage adviser from Buckinghamshire.
But before she could pocket her memento, she claims two men ripped the maracas from her, pulling back her fingers, drawing blood and leaving her with cuts and bruises.
Arpino, who paid more than £1,000 for two tickets for her and her partner, said: 'I caught them in the air. I've got my hands on both of them but they are strapped at the handle and my hands were twisted holding on to them.

Man faces trial for dumping 27 tonnes of waste that blocked rural access
Darren Sheen, a 39-year-old businessman, has pleaded not guilty to charges of allegedly fly-tipping over 27 tonnes of waste on a rural lane. The substantial amount of waste, reportedly dumped from a lorry on Watery Lane on 19 January, measured over 20 metres in length and two metres in height, obstructing residents in a Lichfield village. The cleanup operation for the fly-tip incurred a cost of £10,000, with the waste firm Wilshees Waste and Recycling describing it as their largest ever. Sheen's trial is scheduled for 8 March 2027. The wait is due to the current court backlog. Watch the video of the massive rubbish pile above.

Talking parrot helps bring down Blackpool drug operation
A talking parrot named Mango assisted Lancashire Police in dismantling an organised crime gang in Blackpool. Mango, owned by the girlfriend of ringleader Adam Garnett, was taught to say the drug-dealing phrase 'two for 25'. Police raids on homes uncovered large quantities of cocaine and heroin, along with videos of the parrot squawking the phrase and playing with cash. Adam Garnett and 14 other gang members were subsequently jailed for a combined total exceeding 103 years. Watch the video in full above.

David Beckham, 50, strips down to tiny trunks to be photographed by wife Victoria and son Cruz on lavish yacht... after being mocked by his kids for his trademark skimpy swimwear
The Beckhams have been enjoying a swanky getaway on their £16m yacht. And the fun continued on Wednesday as father David, 50, got into holiday mood by stripping down to his tiny swimwear to be photographed by son Cruz, 20, and wife Victoria, 51, on the summertime jaunt. A running joke during the holiday has been his cheeky sons Cruz and also Romeo, 22, stealing David's trademark 'budgie smuggler' style. David, whose trip is without their allegedly estranged son Brooklyn, 16, looked as buff as ever in the tiny shorts which gave his kids a run for their money. Victoria was also showing off her figure in a skimpy black swimming costume while protecting her complexion from the sun with a wide-brimmed sun hat. Victoria turned snapper to capture the best shots of her hunky husband in action David was seen readjusting his skimpy ensemble after hitting the high seas Cruz took a hilarious swipe at his father David as he mimicked him once again in a pair of tight white pants that mirrored his dad's underwear campaign on Instagram last week Cruz's look mirrored his dad's recent BOSS underwear campaign David's hard-worked frame was on full display, with his incredible six pack defying his years while his inkings drew the eye further to his frame. Last week, Cruz stripped down to some $550 (£410) white Prada budgie smugglers and frolicked on the sun deck with his bikini-clad girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 29, before diving into the water. Cruz's look was reminiscent of David's iconic Armani underwear campaigns, where he has previously worn white briefs to show off his muscular frame. He was again joining his parents and Jackie on the high seas, during which the aspiring musician took out his guitar to seranade his girlfriend. Posh and Becks traded in their £5million yacht for the much bigger vessel last year, and had been pictured on it sailing around Miami. The impressive looking vessel, understood to be worth £16million, was a significant upgrade on the comparatively modest 100-foot yacht reportedly purchased by Beckham in 2022. The football legend was said to have 'treated himself' to his original vessel in 2022 after being inspired by his maritime jaunts with close friends Sir Elton John and David Furnish - who often holiday at sea. A source told The Sun at the time: 'David had a look around some yachts in the summer, and decided to treat himself. He helped design the boat himself, and has been incredibly hands-on with everything. He was again joining his parents and Jackie on the high seas, during which the aspiring musician took out his guitar to seranade his girlfriend 'It's not an oligarch-style superyacht, but it's still pretty plush by anyone's standards. He was inspired after holidaying with Elton and David on their boat - and loves life on the water. 'There will be an area for the kids to snorkel, and the boat will be a brilliant base for the whole Beckham clan to have magical holidays abroad.' Earlier this week, Victoria gave a rare insight into her feelings about estranged son Brooklyn with a telling social media move. Brooklyn is the only Beckham child not on the getaway, having spent the week before in the same location with his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, and his in-laws. The eldest Beckham son looked to be missing out on a fun-filled trip, as the other offspring made the most of their trip together. Brooklyn left the south of France to return to the U.S, where he was spotted looking glum on an outing in New York with his wife and mother-in-law, Claudia, on Tuesday. Cruz enjoyed a moment alone on the boat
