#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.
