Police today released CCTV images of 10 suspects after violence broke out between racegoers on Epsom Derby day.

Officers from Surrey Police are searching for the suspects after a huge brawl among revellers on June 5 at the two-day festival.

The disorder began shortly after the final race near an entertainment stage set up on the hill, police said.

At the time, witnesses told the Standard innocent bystanders were forced to flee for fear of being caught up in the violence.
