Ten further arrests made following violence at Port Vale vs Stoke City

A further 10 people have been arrested following violent scenes at the derby between Port Vale and Stoke City on December 4, 2018.

A 25-year-old man from Stoke-on-Trent and a 56-year-old man from Uttoxeter were arrested on suspicion of violent disorder and remain in custody.

Seven other men and a 17-year-old boy who were arrested on suspicion of violent disorder have been released on bail while enquiries continue.

Police originally confirmed 11 people, aged between 18 and 61, were arrested for a mixture of public order and violence offences - two men were charged with using threatening or abusive language.

Staffordshire Police said "considerable damage" was caused to sections of the away stand at Vale Park, with seats, toilets and windows all left broken during the Checkatrade Trophy match.

More than 150 officers were deployed and used public order tactics in a bid to restore peace, but were targeted with coins and flares thrown from the terraces in response.

Chief Superintendent Wayne Jones described it as a "challenging" night and condemned the "despicable behaviour" shown by a "large number of fans".
