Police are looking at CCTV footage of West Ham fans hurling bottles and beer cans at the Manchester United team coach as supporters ran amok outside Upton Park on Tuesday (10 May) night. The Hammers' Premier League clash with United was delayed by 45 minutes after the coach came under attack as it made its way to the ground in East London.

Crowds of fans greeted the bus by blocking its path and throwing items at it, causing serious damage to windows and panels. No United players or staff were injured during the incident but four male officers suffered minor injuries as a result of the objects thrown.

No arrests have so far been made in connection with the criminal damage caused to the coach and enquiries are ongoing.
