Attack on Derby fans' coach by Aston Villa supporters being investigated by police

Police are investigating after a coach carrying Derby fans to Wembley for the Championship play-off final was attacked by Aston Villa supporters.

Officers are reviewing body camera footage to identify those responsible for throwing bottles at the coach outside 'The Green' near Wembley ahead of kick-off.

Police say the bus, which was stuck in traffic, contained a number of children going to the game.

The Big Green Coach company, which was carrying the Derby fans, said: "On the way to Wembley, only a couple of hundred metres from the Stadium, as the coach approached the car park on Wembley Hill Road, one of the vehicles was attacked by Aston Villa fans with bottles and cans thrown at the coach, causing not only damage to the vehicle but understandable fear amongst those on board, including families.

"A new vehicle was sourced for the journey home as we would never allow customers to travel on a damaged vehicle.

"We have collected video footage from both on board the vehicle and from the crowds of people outside the coach and are responding to any customers that contact our customer services and social media."

Aston Villa's Supporters Trust have endorsed a JustGiving page aimed at raising money to repair the coach and refunding the ticket prices of all passengers on board.
