Disorder erupted in areas of Paris and London after football supporters poured onto the streets following Morocco’s World Cup defeat to France.
In London, trouble flared on Edgware Road shortly after the final whistle, which came at around 11pm UK time. Police said one officer was taken to hospital after objects were thrown at officers by members of the crowd.
Footage from the scene showed large numbers of people watching anxiously as officers appeared to assist individuals who had been hurt.
In one video, the person recording could be heard urging for urgent medical help, saying: “They need to get the ambulance right now.”
Riot police were later sent into the area. A separate clip filmed outside the Lebanese restaurant Al Balad, close to Marble Arch station, showed dozens of officers wearing helmets and carrying shields moving along Edgware Road.
The man filming that scene could be heard saying: “Police are going in.”

Scenes in Paris were more jubilant, but no less chaotic. In a video taken at Westfield Forum des Halles, round the corner from the Louvre, countless young people were seen jumping up and down in joy following France’s victory.
They were heard chanting and blowing whistles loudly.

Last week, huge crowds of Morocco football fans clashed with Dutch cops as they celebrated their World Cup victory over the Netherlands.
The North African nation won their Round of 32 match in Mexico by a hair, snatching victory from the Netherlands during a penalty shootout after drawing 1-1 with their rivals.
Following the match, Morocco fans tore through cities across the Netherlands, leading to several arrests.
While celebrations in The Hague initially started off peacefully, with people dancing and waving flags on streets, they quickly soured.
Several hundred supporters gathered at a crossroads in the district, kicking a ball in the air and celebrating wildly with passengers of passing vehicles, sometimes jumping on cars.
Around one hour into the festivities, the mood changed as riot police arrived on the scene.

Dutch police said officers were targeted with fireworks and stones, which prompted them to use a water cannon against them to disperse a large group of people gathered on Vaillantlaan, a main road in the city’s Schilderswijk district.
Police pinned several young men to the ground after striking them in their legs with batons. Handcuffed, they were driven away in police vans.
Dutch police on bicycles played a cat-and-mouse game with youths through the streets but there was no major damage caused.
Despite multiple attempts, people declined to speak to the media, preferring to keep their identities secret. Many on the streets wore balaclavas or other face coverings.
Around ten people were arrested in the city.
In Rotterdam, another four people were arrested for breach of peace and assault when Morocco fans gathered on the West-Kruiskade district early in the morning.
Local media reported that a plant pot was thrown at officers, though the incident was not related to the arrests.
The Daily Mail has contacted the Metropolitan Police and the London Ambulance Service for comment.
