Bottles thrown at fan zone during England match
BBCPolice in Leicester are discussing future World Cup matches at a fan zone in the city centre after bottles were thrown during England's 0-0 draw with Ghana.
Leicestershire Police confirmed it was informed of a report of bottles being thrown at the zone in Jubilee Square just before 22:30 BST on Tuesday.
No serious injuries were reported and inquiries are continuing, a force spokesperson said, adding that no arrests have been made.
A police spokesperson said: "Officers from the Central Leicester NPA (Neighbourhood Policing Area) are also engaging with the local authority and partners regarding future matches."
A Leicester City Council spokesperson said: "The event organiser is working closely with the police and council officers to identify and implement appropriate measures to help prevent a recurrence of the incident that took place by a small minority at last night's England v Ghana football match."
The zone can accommodate up to 2,500 people and is free to enter, but spaces are on a first-come, first-served basis.
In addition to World Cup screenings, an arts festival and family entertainment have previously been confirmed for the area, known as Summer on the Square.
