Police update on 'football rivals' arrested after Shrewsbury 'brawl' on road
Six people were arrested over the weekend, as football rivals Shrewsbury and Wrexham went head-to-head at The Cound.
Four people were arrested in relation to a "brawl" on Friday, after officers were called to reports of a group of men fighting on Ellesmere Road in Shrewsbury at around 8.50pm.
The disorder came ahead of the Shrewsbury Town and Wrexham AFC's FA Cup third round fixture on Sunday - their first clash since 2008, which the Welsh team won 1-0.
Harlescott resident Bob Griffiths said that at around 9pm, the road seemed to have "erupted into a sea of angry voices", before breaking out into what sounded like a "full brawl".
Drone footage taken by Mr Griffiths showed a large police presence on Ellesmere Road after the incident.
Police have now confirmed all four arrested in connection with the incident have been released on police bail while investigations continue.
During the rest of the weekend's football revelries, one man was arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly and was released under investigation.
Another man was arrested on suspicion of affray but later released with no further action.
