Three police officers have been injured while arresting football fans believed to be throwing missiles ahead of Tottenham’s Champions League match in north London.
Scotland Yard said nine arrests were made before the club’s semi-final clash with Dutch side Ajax on Tuesday night.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said a group of fans began throwing missiles outside the recently-opened Tottenham stadium at around 7.15 pm.
Police officers intervened and arrested four people, with three officers sustaining non-serious injuries.
Five other arrests were made prior to the game's 8pm kick-off in relation to other incidents, the spokesman said.
Ajax claimed a 1-0 win over Tottenham in the first leg of their semi-final tie.
The English Premier League side will travel to Holland for the second leg on May 8.
