Nine people are arrested at Premier League title parade in north London as chaos erupts following Champions League defeat

Nine people were arrested at the Premier League championship ceremony in north London following Arsenal’s crushing Champions League defeat.

The Met Police said the offenses included drunk and disorderly behaviour, drug offences, sexual assaults and assaulting emergency workers as chaos erupted in the capital on Sunday.

Footage taken at the scene showed at least a dozen hooligans climbing onto the roof of a police van, some drinking, banging their fists on the side of the vehicle and chanting slogans as footballs were thrown around.

Meanwhile, the photos also show fans raising their middle fingers to police officers as a fight broke out.

Some footage from north London showed Met officers raising their batons at rowdy Arsenal fans.

A man was also seen sitting on top of the ambulance, although its blue lights were flashing.

One of the police officers fell as he tried to stop Met fans from entering the Emirates Stadium at the end of the celebrations this afternoon, while another nearly fell to the ground after being hit with a bottle.

Meanwhile, London Fire Brigade (LFB) said they rescued ‘around 75 people’ from high altitude incidents during the event and encouraged fans to avoid climbing onto rooftops as celebrations continue this evening.

They also said they attended a fire at a hotel believed to have been caused by a stray flame.

LFB Deputy Commissioner Pat Goulbourne said: ‘Fortunately, the fire caused only minor damage to the exterior of the building.

‘Pyrotechnics are also believed to have triggered fire alarms at several other locations in the area.’

It is thought up to a million people lined the streets of North London today as the celebrations caused travel chaos on TfL services.

London Overground’s Mildmay Line is experiencing significant delays after the parade and many stations, including Holloway Road, Drayton Park and Essex Road, are understood to be closed or operating on limited timetables due to congestion.

Trains on the Victoria line also did not stop at Highbury and Islington stations, with Canonbury only allowing commuters out.

Elsewhere during the club’s victory parade on Sunday, aerial video footage showed four Arsenal buses slowly circling a five-mile circuit in north London as red smoke filled the streets to the sound of jubilant fans and their vuvuzelas.

Despite last night’s thrilling Champions League final in which this year’s Premier League champions lost to PSG on penalties, tens of thousands of fans took to the roads today as the Arsenal team completed their victory lap.

Arron Lapsley, 16, from Halifax, said: ‘This is exciting. Good atmosphere. Everyone is having a really good time; It’s a great day out. ‘For most of us it was the first time we’d won a proper trophy.’

Asked if yesterday’s defeat against PSG had cast a shadow over the victory ceremony, he continued: ‘I thought it would too, but everyone came out, it’s great, it’s a good atmosphere.’

Riot police were present in Paris for the celebrations that were expected to last until late at night.

His father, Andy Lapsley, 54, added: ‘It means a lot to be here, but it’s hard to find tickets for the matches. We watched the Champions League last night, I think we won, we played really well. ‘I dare you to lose on penalties.’

This was the year the English club won the League title for the first time in over 20 years, having won the 2003/04 season.

Security was tight at one of the most heavily policed ​​events of this year, with more than 500 officers, a drone team and specialist search parties on the streets.
