A large group of supporters stormed the Green Man, the main England supporters pub just outside Wembley Stadium, ahead of England’s Nations League game against Germany, i has been told.
Witnesses claim that more than 50 fans in hoods and masks forced their way into the side entrance of the popular pub that sits on top of Wembley Hill, with views overlooking the stadium.
It is claimed the assailants were wearing hoods, with masks covering their faces and some wearing England scarves. A huge brawl broke out and lasted for around five minutes before police on horseback arrived, when the group of fighters fled the area.
It is claimed police were able to “grab” some of the assailants but a lot of them fled down the hill. At least two riot vans full of police arrived at the bottom of the hill to deal with the trouble.

England's '10 German bombers' song should be consigned to the dustbin of history26 September, 2022Luke Robinson, who visits the pub before every home game, was there with his son and told i he had “never seen anything like it”.
“There’s an entrance at the back of the Green Man and about 50 of them turned up wearing masks and England scarves,” Robinson, 30, said. “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.”
After the incident people stayed drinking around the edges while paramedics treated the injured. Robinson stayed in the pub for around half an hour after the incident. “One guy was with the paramedics and still unconscious when we left,” Robinson said.
He added: “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.”
Robinson said his son was “petrified” of the incident.
