Man charged after post-match stabbings

A man has been charged following violence in the town centre after England lost the final of the European Championships.

Nathan Caswell, aged 21, has been charged with violent disorder, possession of a bladed article, possession with intent to supply cannabis and possession of Class A drugs.

At around 10pm on Sunday 14th July, police received several calls reporting that disorder had broken out in the town centre. Two people sustained stab wounds during the incident.

Three people were arrested shortly afterwards and have been released on conditional bail while further enquiries are carried out.

Caswell was arrested the following day.

He appeared before Hatfield Remand Court earlier today (Wednesday 17th July) where he pleaded guilty to all charges. He has been remanded into custody ahead of sentencing at a later date.

Chief Inspector David Cooke said: "This was an unprecedented level of disorder and we have been working hard to investigate the circumstances, identify further suspects and make additional arrests.

"Enquiries are ongoing and anyone with information is still urged to get in touch. If you have been captured in any of the footage that is circulating online, please contact us, as you may be able to assist us as we work to progress the investigation."
