There were violent clashes involving supporters from the two teams after the North London derby on Saturday afternoon.
Tensions were higher than usual after of the game - which ended 2-2 - as both sides are involved in the Premier League title race.
One fan could be seen with blood streaming down his face, while mobile phone footage shows mounted police surrounded by rowdy fans throwing cans.
Oliver Barr, 23, a Fulham fan at the game, said some Tottenham fans had lined the road between the south stand of White Hart Lane, which seats the away fans, and High Road, as well as the route taken by police escorting Arsenal fans.
"After regaining some degree of control, the police managed to gather all of the away fans into a double-layered cordon of officers outside of the away end but you could clearly see coins and other objects being thrown between the two sets of fans as mounted officers encouraged Spurs fans to move to their seats."
