Newcastle United say they will impose "immediate lifetime bans" on anyone involved in the clashes after their defeat to Sunderland.

Some 29 supporters were arrested as violence erupted in the city centre following the Tyne-Wear derby.

Video footage showed crowds throwing glass bottles at police and a burning bin lying on its side in the road. Pictures also showed a man apparently trying to punch a police horse.

A spokesman for Newcastle United said: "We were embarrassed and appalled by the behaviour of a minority of so-called fans who were involved in disturbances and disorder in Newcastle city centre after the match.

"We have been working with Northumbria Police, and will continue to do so, in order to identify all of the individuals concerned.

"The club will take the strongest possible action against those involved in the disturbances and will impose immediate lifetime bans on all those found guilty.

"These deplorable individuals have no place at Newcastle United and bring shame on the club and the vast majority of its proper, law-abiding, fans."

Chief Superintendent Steve Neill, of Northumbria Police, asked fans who filmed fighting on their mobile phones to hand over any footage to the police or Crimestoppers.

"Disruptive behaviour of any kind is not tolerated," he said.

Meanwhile, West Yorkshire Police tweeted a picture of the horse caught up in the violence, saying he is "resting and relaxed" in his stables and was not injured.

His suspected attacker, who was wrestled to the ground by officers, has been bailed pending further inquiries.

The disorder in Newcastle came after clashes during an FA Cup semi-final match between Millwall and Wigan at Wembley Stadium.

Police arrested 14 people over the violence, which left younger fans in tears and was seen by millions of people watching on television.

In a separate development, police investigating clashes between Shrewsbury Town and Walsall fans have charged 28 people with offences including violent disorder and assault.

The charges relate to a fight in Shrewsbury in October last year, during which a police officer suffered a broken leg.

A spokesman for West Mercia Police said those charged would appear in court over several days, starting on April 29.

"We always seek to prevent football violence occurring and any serious disorder will be met with strong measures," Superintendent James Tozer said.
