Video footage appeared to show a number of football fans being detained by police as scuffles broke out following the Manchester City v Arsenal game.
The clips were filmed after the match at the Etihad on Sunday (April 19). The first clip captured frantic scenes as officers shouted ‘get back’ as a man wearing a Manchester City shirt was detained against a fence.
A number of police officers then held the man as he was put in handcuffs. A scuffle between another male and an officer appeared to break out nearby as police horses separated those involved in the chaotic scenes from the walking crowd.

A further clip then appeared to show an officer detaining another male to the ground. This male was placed in handcuffs surrounded by three officers.
Clips then captured another male being detained in an incident which looked to be outside a pub. Chants of ‘City, City’ can be heard in the background throughout the videos.
It has not been confirmed whether any of the males were arrested. Greater Manchester Police have been contacted for further details.
Man City secured a 2-1 victory over Arsenal on Sunday with goals from Rayan Cherki and Erling Haaland. The win puts the Blues back in control of the title race if they beat Burnley on Wednesday, placing them at the top of the league with five games remaining.
