The Metropolitan Police have made nine arrests in the area around the Arsenal Parade on Sunday afternoon.
The force announced on X that, as of 6pm, arrests have been made on charges including drunk and disorderly behaviour, drugs offences, sexual assault and assaulting emergency workers.
The Met were set to have more than 500 officers staffing the parade.
Thousands of Arsenal fans lined the streets around the Emirates Stadium as the team set off on their Premier League trophy parade on Sunday afternoon.
Despite the Champions League defeat to Paris St Germain last night, the crowd was in high spirits.
The air thick with red smoke, fans have climbed trees, roofs and traffic lights with a hope of seeing their team.
Chants of “Arsenal” rang through the streets of north London. Fireworks went off above the stadium as the Arsenal bus made its way past the crowds. The team were met with chants of “Champions of England, we know what we are”.
By 5pm, the streets of north London remained full of Arsenal fans, wandering around as though slightly dazed in the wake of the trophy parade.
The roads were littered with cans, bottles and general debris from the celebration.
The joyous chanting and singing continued as the crowds made their way gradually back towards Tube stations on Sunday evening.
