London Police have charged two men following crowd violence among Millwall fans that marred Saturday's FA Cup semifinal against Wigan at Wembley Stadium.
.
One of the men was charged with racially aggravated behavior and the other with breaching bail conditions. Fourteen people - 12 Millwall supporters and two Wigan fans - were arrested inside the stadium during or after the match, and another six Millwall fans were arrested outside Wembley for offenses including affray and racist abuse.
.
Andy Barnes, detective chief inspector of the Metropolitan Police, says on Tuesday "a significant investigation is now underway to identify all involved in order to bring them to justice in a swift and robust manner."

The violence was sparked by Millwall fans turning on each other during the match, which Wigan won 2-0.
