Glasses and bottles thrown at police amid 'violent confrontations' in Liverpool

Police officers had glasses and bottles thrown at them in violent confrontations with Liverpool fans celebrating the club's Premier League win, a police chief has said.

Merseyside Police Assistant Chief Constable Jon Roy said the two officers needed medical treatment for injuries to their backs after bottles were thrown at them as they went to help an assault victim in a crowd of supporters at the Pier Head on Friday night.
