Overview
- Celebrations erupted on Friday night after Egypt beat Australia on penalties and hundreds of supporters poured onto Edgware Road, the area known as 'Little Cairo'.
- Video and eyewitness accounts show crowds blocking traffic, people climbing onto double-decker bus roofs and officers wrestling with some revellers as police worked to disperse the group.
- A grey 4x4 was filmed driving through part of the crowd and a man hit in the apparent collision was taken to hospital with a broken arm, the Metropolitan Police confirmed.
- The Metropolitan Police said officers attended a disorder call at 21:57, that about 1,000 people were present, the group was dispersed with no arrests at the scene and enquiries including CCTV checks are ongoing.
- Local businesses and transport were disrupted and the episode is likely to prompt further policing and safety reviews for future spontaneous post-match gatherings.
