Six London Underground stations were closed as trouble flared when thousands of people marked the banning of alcohol on London transport with a party.
Four tube drivers, three other staff members, and two police officers were assaulted, and there were 17 arrests.
Several trains were damaged and withdrawn from service, which led to suspended services.
Drinkers gathered on Tube trains and station concourses for a last drink before the ban came in at midnight.
Police said what should have been a fun event came to an "unfortunate" end.

The whole ban is such a waste of time anyway, it wont stop anyone who really wants to drink. Just empty out half your coke bottle and pour in the Vodka!
