A few members of the group then ran across the tracks and there was a fight between about 10 people.

British Transport Police Officers have released images of 10 men, believed to be Derby County and Rotherham United fans, they want to speak to.

DC Ian Grice, investigating officer, said: “We’d like to hear from anyone who recognises the men in the images or who was at Rotherham station on Saturday March 12 who witnessed the incident.

“This type of violent behaviour is completely unacceptable and must have been extremely distressing and unpleasant for other passengers at the station.
