A total of 29 football fans have been arrested and three police officers hurt after violence following a derby game in Newcastle.
Missiles were thrown at police as a group of Newcastle fans tried to confront Sunderland supporters in Central Station after the home side's 0-3 defeat at St James' Park.
One officer was taken to hospital for treatment, police said.
Video footage of the violence showed fans picking up empty glass bottles from a bin and throwing them towards rows of police.
A burning bin could also be seen lying on its side in the road.
The violence erupted after crowd trouble marred Saturday's FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.
A total of 14 men were arrested after fighting broke out in the Millwall fans' area of Wembley during the second half of their 2-0 defeat by Wigan, in disturbing scenes which left youngsters in tears and were witnessed by millions on television.
Scotland Yard said 12 of those held were Millwall supporters and two Wigan fans.
Police arrested 14 people after the Millwall vs Wigan FA Cup semi-final Northumbria Police said they were pelted with missiles during the trouble in Newcastle.
A force spokeswoman said: "The most serious incident involved a group of Newcastle fans in Central Station attempting to confront Sunderland supporters, but they were intercepted by officers from British Transport Police.
"During this incident missiles were thrown at the officers, which resulted in three injuries to officers - one of them requiring assessment at hospital."
Officers said they received reports of minor incidents, including the release of smoke canisters, before and during the match.
It is believed that Newcastle fans were also involved in a series of sporadic incidents of disorder in the city centre following the match, a force spokeswoman said.
Chief Superintendent Steve Neill, of Northumbria Police, said: "The vast majority of fans were well behaved today and enjoyed the Tyne-Wear derby for the great occasion that it is.
"Disappointingly, there was some disorder involving what appear to be Newcastle United supporters following the match in the city centre, including an incident at Central Station.
"Disruptive behaviour of any kind is not tolerated. Inquiries will take place into these incidents and action will be taken against all those involved."
