Arsenal Parade: Dozens Require Rescuing From Height and 16 Arrests Made
- On Sunday, thousands of fans lined the streets around Emirates Stadium to celebrate Arsenal FC winning their first English Premier League trophy in 22 years.

- More than 500 officers staffed the parade, and Goulbourne noted many fans were "celebrating their club's achievement safely," though authorities urged departing supporters to avoid pyrotechnics near stations and flammable materials.
