Footage showing fireworks being hurled at a police van has been released by West Midlands Police.

Officers are appealing for information following disorder in Coventry on Sunday., which started following an event in memory of a teenage motorcyclist.

A number of people have been arrested, however detectives are still trying to identify some of those involved.
