Fourteen charged over disorder at cup clash

The men, aged between 19 and 58, are charged with a range of offences including being drunk and disorderly, throwing a missile onto the field, ticket touting, public disorder, indecent/racial chanting and drug possession.

They are due in court in Leeds between October 4 and 6.

Three other men, aged 27, 38, and 40, were released on police bail after being arrested on suspicion of public order offences.

A 23-year-old man has received a fixed penalty notice for being drunk and disorderly.

Two 16-year-old boys received police reprimands for public order offences.

Officers are continuing investigations into the disorder, including studying hundreds of hours of CCTV footage.

Police said they expected to make more arrests over the coming weeks.

Senior officers described the violence as “appalling” and all the worse because teenagers and men in their 50s were involved.

One police officer suffered a broken leg and dislocated ankle when he was knocked to the floor beneath a police horse.

Another officer suffered a foot injury. A football supporter from Wales was knocked unconscious and required hospital treatment.

Superintendent Vernon Francis said officers and supporters came under missile attack before and after the game. He called the trouble “sheer wanton violence”.
