Page "UK miners' strike (1984–1985)" Paragraph 12

In 1991, the South Yorkshire Police were forced to pay out £ 425, 000 to thirty-nine miners who were arrested in the events at the incident.

Other less well known, but also bloody, police attacks took place, for example, in Maltby, South Yorkshire.

These confrontations contained organised police lines including charges by police and police mounted on horseback.

In some cases miners organised themselves against this.
