Rogues’ gallery: Leeds, Bradford and Huddersfield yobs who halted 61 trains

POLICE today issued CCTV pictures of Leeds United, Bradford City and Huddersfield Town fans involved in “a large scale disorder” which caused rail chaos in Huddersfield last month.

Police are blaming football supporters for the violence which flared on Westgate and Market Street, before continuing in Huddersfield railway station and spilling on to the tracks.

Several men chased each other through the station platforms and eventually down the rail line towards Deighton, causing 61 trains to be delayed and seven to be cancelled.

Detectives say the disruption, which followed the Championship play-off final on Saturday May 19, caused 893 minutes of delays.

Acting Det Sgt Nick Doyle of Huddersfield CID said: “These mindless individuals caused ordinary members of the public to fear for their safety. Several scared shop owners locked themselves inside and one young man had to lock himself in the car whilst his grandma shopped nearby.

“Behaviour of this kind will not be tolerated and we will bring those involved before the courts. I urge anyone who has any information to the identity of the men pictured to contact us.”

Anyone who recognises any of the people in the photographs is asked to call police on 101.
