POLICE have released images of seven men they want to speak to in connection with violence at a West Ham match earlier this month.

Officers from the Metropolitan Police's Public Order Command are seeking the men over disorder outside the ground following the home match against Middlesbrough on October 1.

Superintendent Jonathan Williams, said: "The vast majority of football fans attending matches across London do so in the right spirit to enjoy the game and return home without incident.

"Sadly, there is a very small minority that occasionally engages in disorder and where that happens, we will do our utmost to identify those responsible and bring them to justice.

"I would ask anyone who recognises any of these men, or knows who was involved in the disorder following the West Ham vs Middlesbrough game to get in touch with us, as this kind of behaviour has absolutely no place at football matches."

Anyone with information should contact the investigation team on 020 7230 2425 or email SCO22-football@met.police.uk">SCO22-football@met.police.uk quoting the reference number on the relevant image.
