#2 The unnamed suspect turned himself in at an east London police station this Friday,
and he was arrested on suspicion of violent disorder.
#4 Commander BJ Harrington of the Met’s Public Order team said:
Behaviour of the kind we saw before Tuesday's match is totally unacceptable. The vast majority of people were well-behaved, but we are looking to deal with a small minority of individuals who committed criminal acts
We are working closely with both clubs to bring these individuals to justice, and I would urge anyone who recognises the men in these pictures to contact police.
#5 Harrington went on to say that,
the police knew that the match was always going to be a challenge because ‘passions [were] running high'.
