Police have made a string of arrests linked to a violent clash of football hooligans outside a north London pub.
Scotland Yard said seven Everton fans - men and boys aged between 15 and 54 - had been detained on suspicion of violent disorder following targeted raids in Merseyside and Sussex.
It came after violence broke out between supporters of three sides at the Millers pub in Caledonian Road on the evening of May 16.
Police said around 30 Everton fans attacked a smaller group of Newcastle and Hull supporters. All three clubs had played away games in London that afternoon.
Some 12 minutes of violence ensued before police arrived, with fans exchanging blows and glasses being thrown across the street.
The landlord of the Miller pub, who did not want to be named, later told the Daily Mirror: “They weren’t even targeting other football fans, but innocent people just passing by or standing outside drinking. It was a thoroughly nasty and shocking attack."
It ended with a 51-year-old man being taken to hospital, though no serious injuries were reported, the Met said.
CCTV cameras and witnesses with phones captured much of the fracas, enabling police to trace the suspects.
This morning a series of co-ordinated raids were carried out at seven addresses across Liverpool, Wirral and Warrington and in Crawley, Sussex, as part of a joint operation between the Met and Merseyside Police.
Operation Arrowtip lead Det Ch Insp Andy Barnes said: "Operation Arrowtip is the Met's response to football related crime and disorder.
"Violence amongst supporters has no place in football; be it before, during or after a match.
"These investigations that lead to operations like today show that no matter where you are from, or who you support, UK policing will work together to identify suspects and take action against them."
Three men were also arrested on the day of the incident, police said, including a 52-year-old man on suspicion of three counts of assault and two men on suspicion of affray.
All 10 men are currently on police bail.
Contact police on 101 with any information.
