Moment brawl breaks out at Arsenal parade - as police make arrests for drink, drug and sex offences after Champions League loss

Published: 11:44, 1 June 2026 | Updated: 11:59, 1 June 2026 Fans were seen brawling in the streets during Arsenal's victory parade on Sunday as the Metropolitan Police arrested at least 16 people on the streets of north London. A video posted to Instagram appeared to show a man and two women throwing punches at each other before a clip of three women fighting near the Emirates stadium. Arsenal's men's team won their first Premier League title in 22 years last month and celebrated with a five-mile open-top bus loop through Islington a day after their Champions League final loss to Paris Saint-Germain on penalties in Budapest. They were joined by the women's team, who triumphed in the inaugural Fifa Women's Champions Cup earlier in the season. Fellow fans tried to separate the sparring Gooners as they squared up to each other on rubbish-lined streets by the club's stadium on Sunday. The man filming the video asked 'what's going on?' as fans squared up to each other. A woman in a red Arsenal shirt then appeared to aim a jab at a man before he pushed her and began to punch her and another fan, who was wearing a white T-shirt with the club's name emblazoned on the chest. The man, wearing the same red shirt as his victim, blue tracksuit bottoms and black trainers, punched the two women at least three times with his right arm before being hauled away. A man aimed right-handed jabs at two women in the streets by the Emirates stadium during Arsenal's victory parade on Sunday afternoon A woman appeared to try and hit the man before he lashed out, swinging as his two female victims Meanwhile a woman was dragged away from two others after they clashed, attempting to slap each other with outstretched arms Fans took to the streets as Arsenal paraded the Premier League trophy, their first in 22 years, round a five-mile north London route on Sunday afternoon After the two women escaped from their assailant, the man filming said: 'Don't come to Arsenal parades if you do not support Arsenal.' Another clip showed three women running at each other and trying to aim slaps with outstretched arms before they were separated by other fans. The cameraman then said: 'I don't know what's going on today.' One of the women who had attempted to fight was told to 'chill' by other fans as she continued to look agitated and move around the crowd. A member of the crowd told her: 'You're being f****** mad, stop.' Meanwhile a woman in a white Arsenal shirt told another of the brawling women: 'Don't do it man, it's not worth it.' Forensic officers examined the scene of an alleged stabbing on Hornsey Road after the parade Streets were left covered in litter after the parade, thought to have attracted hundreds of thousands of people The Met Police said 16 people had been arrested during Sunday's parade and about 75 had been rescued from height. Offences included drunk and disorderly behaviour, drug offences, sexual assault and assaulting emergency workers. It is unclear if anyone depicted in the video was arrested. Officers were called to a stabbing on Hornsey Road just after 8.30pm, after which a man was taken to hospital. Fire crews rescued around 75 people from height and told fans not to climb on to rooftops. A fire at a hotel is believed to have been started by a stray flare. Arsenal won their first Premier League title since 2004 after Manchester City drew with Bournemouth on May 19, leaving them four points adrift of the Gunners with only one game to play. Mikel Arteta's side lifted the trophy at Selhurst Park on May 24 after their final fixture against Crystal Palace, with celebrities including Piers Morgan and Jack Whitehall among the away fans. But the club's fortune ended there as they lost to Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday night to miss out on a first-ever Champions League title. Rowdy Arsenal fans confronted police officers on Sunday afternoon, as one supporter put his middle fingers up Metropolitan Police officers drew their batons as hordes of fans took over the streets of north London  One fan was seen climbing on top of an ambulance that had its blue lights flashing  After taking an early lead through Kai Havertz, the French side levelled from the penalty spot before missed spot-kicks by Eberechi Eze and Gabriel meant Arsenal faced the same ill fate as 2006, when they last appeared in the tie.  There had been scenes of violence and destruction across France after PSG's win on Saturday night.  PSG fans clashed with riot police across the French capital, where more than 280 people were arrested as scenes of anarchy marred what should have been a night of jubilation after the club made history by becoming only the second club to retain the European trophy. Across the country, including those in Paris, a total of 416 people were arrested last night, prompting interior minister Laurent Nunez to condemn the chaos as 'absolutely unacceptable' as police officers were wounded in the violence.  Around 5,000 police and gendarmes were deployed in Paris to police crowds who were watching the final. French officers used tear gas and baton charges against crowds in the French capital who had gathered to watch the game on TV screens outside bars and cafés in sweltering heat on Saturday afternoon. Weapons and fireworks were among the items confiscated by officers.  'The trouble started as soon as Arsenal went one-nil up,' said an onlooker. 'Chairs and bottles were thrown at the police, who then moved in to make arrests.' Some Paris St Germain fans managed to climb up scaffolding on a building close to the Rue de Rivoli – one of the main shopping streets in the French capital.  The unrest continued into the night with all buses in Paris stopped due to the large number of people gathering on the streets.  And in dramatic scenes outside the Eiffel Tower, multiple vehicles were set alight.  Hundreds of tourists visiting nearby monuments such as Notre Dame Cathedral and the Louvre museum also found themselves caught up in the trouble.
