Four arrests have been made after masked Germany 'fans' attacked England supporters at a pub ahead of Monday's Nations League fixture at Wembley, police have confirmed.
Around 100 men approached a pub near the stadium two hours before kick-off and started to assault customers, the Metropolitan Police said.
At least three people have serious injuries and several have suffered blows to the head and face.
A statement read: "At 17:50hrs on Monday, 26 September a group of approximately 100 males, many wearing masks, approached a pub in Dagmar Avenue, Wembley through an alley leading towards the car park.
"While a number of the group were wearing England hats and scarves, it is believed they were German 'fans'.
"The group entered the beer garden of the pub and began assaulting customers, most of whom were in the area to attend the England vs Germany match. Punches and projectiles including traffic cones were thrown.
"Officers responded and the group fled. The disorder lasted for around two minutes.
"A number of people sustained head and facial injuries. We are also aware of three people with serious leg, wrist and thumb injuries. None of those injured are believed to be in a life-threatening condition.
"There have been four arrests so far in relation to the disorder."
Seems to have taken place at the main England pub, The Green Man.
Talksport have run with the above adding;
Meanwhile, eyewitness Luke Robinson told us;
“There’s an entrance at the back of the Green Man and about 50 of them turned up wearing masks and England scarves.
“They stormed in, were hitting anyone and everyone. It was going on for a good five minutes before the police arrived.
“A lot of people were in a bad way. People were on the floor, unconscious, covered in blood. Even kids — one lad no older than 13 had a bleeding nose.
“One guy was with the paramedics and still unconscious when we left.
“It’s the main England pub. I’ve never seen it like that before and I come to every home game. We were there when England played Germany in the Euros and when there was all the trouble around the final, but this is the first time I’ve seen it like it.”
Sounds awful and indiscriminate. I know we have a few posters that go to see England at times, like @Mockney, so I hope no one was caught up in it.
