LONDON: British police have warned World Cup fans to behave ahead of a semifinal clash with Croatia, saying there had been “significant disorder” after England’s win over Sweden.
The National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) said it had received reports of at least 387 incidents and 70 arrests around the country following Saturday’s game.“It is incredibly disheartening to see over 300 incidents of alcohol fuelled disorder from a minority of mindless individuals,” Mark Roberts, head of football policing for the NPCC, said in a statement.
“Shops were damaged, people were abused and assaulted and others climbed on buses and cars, causing damage to vehicles and in some cases, themselves,” he said. Ahead of Wednesday’s game, Roberts said: “We want people to celebrate and enjoy themselves but not at the expense of law abiding fans and emergency services’ resources”.
