World Cup Semi-Final
Thank you to the vast majority of fans last night for your excellent behaviour while watching the England game.
Although the score didn’t go our way, fans by-and-large were brilliant and watched the #WorldCup semi-final between England and Croatia in good spirits.
Nine arrests were made in total in Manchester City Centre including public order offences and being drunk and disorderly, but thankfully no serious incidents took place.
We would also like to thank all the officers who worked hard to keep everyone safe last night, with many having to give up their plans of watching the game with friends and family.
Yesterday was a testament to fans – you came together, helped look after each other and dealt with the result graciously.
Bring on Euro 2020!
