Police try to keep England and Scottish fans apart in central London's Leicester Square on Friday afternoon (June 18).

Footage shows objects being thrown and police trying to keep England fans away from Scotland fans, with at least one person being arrested.

In a separate statement issued on Friday afternoon, Chief Inspector Joe Stokoe, spokesperson for the Met Police's policing operation during Euro 2020, said: “There will of course be people in London who won’t be watching the game and we urge you to consider those people and behave respectfully.

"London also remains in a public health crisis. There are government guidelines in place and we ask people to follow these and remain socially distanced.

“We have contingency plans to deal with any number of potential incidents as they arise but my message is clear: if you don’t have ticket to the matches, fan zone or officially booked into a pub, bar or club, please do not come to London – you could end up missing the game.

“Last night we took the precaution of issuing a section 35 dispersal order that is in place until 15:00hrs on Saturday, 19. We have a flexible policing plan in place to reduce the likelihood of crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour.”

Two men were arrested last night, Met Police said.
