Three men charged by police following West Ham United, Chelsea violence

The Metropolitan Police charge three men following the violent scenes that marred West Ham United's EFL Cup fourth-round win over Chelsea.

Three men have been charged by the Metropolitan Police in relation to the violence that broke out towards the end of the EFL Cup clash between West Ham United and Chelsea at the London Stadium on Wednesday night.

Towards the closing stages of the game, which ended in a 2-1 victory for the Hammers, it appeared as though coins, bottles and seats were thrown between rival fans.

Six men were arrested after the encounter and three of them have been charged.

James Colin Smith, 36, has been dealt charges of common assault, assault on police and possession of class A drugs.

Nicholas Greenway, 51, and 27-year-old Michael Parker have been charged with threatening behaviour and throwing missiles respectively.

Both men have been bailed and ordered to appear at Thames Magistrates' Court on November 11, while Mr Smith's hearing has been set for November 25.
