The Met has also issued photos of 11 people who officers are trying to trace in relation to the disorder.

Officers want to speak to them in relation to a range of public order offences and assaults on emergency services workers, the force said.

Detective Chief Inspector Natalie Norris, from the Met's Public Order Crime Team, said: "Public order policing doesn't end when the event is over and since Saturday our teams have been working to identify those involved in any criminality.

"Our post-event investigation is ongoing and officers have trawled through hundreds of hours of CCTV footage and continue to review evidence to help with inquiries.

"We have identified a number of people we want to speak to in connection with a range of offences - and we are asking for the public's help to track them down.

"As with any major event, we know people may have travelled from outside of London, so we're asking for people across the country to take a look at those pictured and get in touch if they recognise anyone."

Anyone with information or relevant footage of the individuals can call 101 quoting CAD 4624/15SEP25 or tweet @MetCC, or to remain anonymous contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 or online.
