The Metropolitan Police have released six images of men they would like to speak to in connection with violence and disorder during the West Ham United match, which took place at Wembley Stadium.
A number of police officers were attacked as they attempted to separate two groups of rival fans who were attempting to kick through a set of gates in an internal concourse of the stadium.
The six men in the images released are all believed to be West Ham fans and the match at Wembley was against Tottenham on October 25.
Detective Sergeant Matt Simpson, from the Specialist Crime and Operations Public Order Branch, said:“Violence towards police officers will not be tolerated and it was extremely fortunate that no one was badly injured.
“Supporters should be in no doubt that anyone involved in, or responsible for, the disorder will be dealt with robustly and once identified, we will seek to arrest them and put them before the courts.
"I would urge anyone who recognises any of these people to get in touch with us.”
Anyone who recognises any of the individuals in the images should contact the investigation team on 020 8246 9386 quoting the image reference number or alternatively call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
