Detectives are reviewing hours of CCTV, body worn video footage, and other material which captures the violence that broke out outside the stadium when Aston Villa played Legia Warsaw.

Five officers suffered minor injuries on the night, along with two police dogs and two police horses.

Hundreds of officers from the West Midlands and other forces were deployed. A total of 45 men and one woman have been charged over the violence.

Those charged are aged between and 21 and 63, and around 40 are believed to be from Poland. A small number are believed to be UK residents.
