Six arrested following public order disturbance at BetMcLean Cup final
Police said they would review CCTV footage and seek football banning orders.
Six people have been arrested for public order-related offences after Sunday's BetMcLean Cup final between Linfield and Coleraine.
A 43-year-old man was among those held after a number of fans were involved in a disturbance before kick-off on Donegall Road and Tate's Avenue Bridge.
Police said they would review CCTV footage and seek football banning orders.
Superintendent Christian Bradley said: "Our officers were in place to deal swiftly and effectively with any trouble makers. The majority of the issues were outside the venue, however, a number of flares/smoke bombs were set off inside the stadium which we are investigating.
“A total of six arrests were made for public order-related offences and, where applicable, we will be seeking football banning orders. As part of our follow-up, we will also be reviewing any available CCTV.
“We recognise that the vast majority of fans are there to enjoy the match, however, we will not tolerate disruption, disorder or criminal behaviour of any kind.
“As always we will continue to work with our local football clubs and the League to address any criminal or sectarian activity linked to people attending matches and ensure that supporters are kept safe.”
