At around 6.05pm on Saturday, 18 March, officers were called to reports of violent disorder between Southampton and Tottenham supporters on Terminus Terrace, at the junction with Oxford Street.
It was reported that a number of people were involved in the disorder, with tables, chairs and glasses being thrown, as well as a man being assaulted.
The man, a 61-year-old from Bursledon, suffered facial injuries and attended hospital for treatment.
Detective Inspector Tim Judd, said:
“This would have been a frightening experience for those who witnessed this incident. There would have been a lot of people out and about in the area enjoying their Saturday evening who suddenly found themselves at the centre of this disorder.
“We believe those involved had been the Southampton FC Vs Tottenham Hotspur game at St Mary’s Stadium and were making their way out of the city when the incident occurred.
“We’d like to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time who witnessed what happened, may have footage of the incident filmed on their phones, or anyone who may have been driving passed and has a dashcam fitted to their vehicle. If you do have any information that could help, please contact us on 101 quoting 44230108876.”
