South Yorkshire Police are looking to identify 12 football fans over significant disorder after the Sheffield United v Birmingham City game earlier this season.
The match between the two clubs in Sheffield on October 1, 2022, ended in a 1-1 draw. South Yorkshire Police have said there was “a number of instances of disorder” reported to have taken place near the ground.
It is reported the incidents took place on Bramall Lane, London Road and Hill Street between 5pm and 5.50pm and “there was extensive damage caused to buildings as a result.”
Police have released the images of 12 men they would like to trace in connection to the incidents. It is believed all 16 are Birmingham City fans and so the appeal has also been shared with West Midlands Police.
Anyone able to help identify anyone in the images below can contact police on 101, quoting incident number 189 of April 13. Alternatively, information can be passed on anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers, via their website or by calling 0800 555 111.
