Approximately 75 people had to be rescued from heights and 16 were arrested during the bus parade organized on Sunday to celebrate "Arsenal's" championship.
Lent.az reports with reference to foreign media that hundreds of thousands of fans gathered around the "Emirates" stadium, on the streets of North London, celebrating the "Gunners" Premier League championship with the men's team for the first time since 2004. The club's women's team won the FIFA Champions Cup for the first time in its history.
16 people were detained in the area where the parade was held.
According to the police, those detained face charges such as disturbing public order, drunk behavior, drug-related offenses, sexual assault, and attacks on emergency service personnel.
The police also intervened in a stabbing incident in the Hornsey Road area. The injured man was taken to hospital, and his condition is being assessed.
Due to parade-related incidents in North London, the police have been given additional detention and search powers. It was reported that the "Article 60" regime of the 1994 Criminal Justice and Public Order Act was applied to the police.
It was reported after 22:00 that some individuals were still rioting and committing offenses. The Metropolitan Police said that in addition to 16 arrests, they also intervened in other attacks and unauthorized music events.
The London rescue service announced that approximately 75 people were rescued during the event as a result of incidents related to heights and urged fans not to climb on roofs. In addition, a fire is believed to have occurred in a hotel due to accidental ignition.
It was noted that, fortunately, the fire caused minor damage to the facade of the building. Pyrotechnics are believed to have triggered fire alarms in several other locations in the area. Fans were asked not to use pyrotechnics, especially at train stations, when returning home, and to stay away from buildings, as well as flammable materials.
Also, during the riots in Paris, the capital of France, and other cities, the police arrested 780 people. The riots started after PSG defeated "Arsenal" and won the Champions League.
57 police officers were injured during the riots. Most of them suffered minor injuries as a result of football fans destroying shops and causing fires. It was also noted that a small group tried to attack a police station in Paris.
Most of the incidents were recorded on the Champs-Élysées avenue and near the "Parc des Princes" stadium, where fans gathered to watch the game.
Incidents were recorded in approximately 15 cities in France. 480 of the 780 detainees are in the Paris region alone.
France has mobilized 22,000 police officers to maintain order in the capital. During the riots last year after Paris Saint-Germain F.C. won the Champions League for the first time, defeating Inter Milan, two people died and approximately 200 were injured.
Police said the crowd consisted of approximately 20,000 people.
Some fans lit firecrackers and flares.
According to reports, small groups rioted in various areas, damaged shops and started fires. Several cars were also set on fire. According to the police, a gang that tried to attack a police station in the prestigious 8th district of Paris was dispersed.
