Trouble erupts with Netherlands fans attacking England fans outside bar in Dortmund

Trouble erupts with Netherlands fans attacking England fans outside a bar in Dortmund before the two sides’ Euro 2024 clash.

Just three hours before the semi final tie was due to get underway, singing together in one part of the city turned into fighting in another place.

Videos showing what happened shows just how high tensions had become with the German venue Sausalitos trashed by fans.

Broken parts of wooden chairs, tables and bottles were seen across the pavement with German police vans soon arriving at the scene.

English and Dutch fans exchanged verbals at each other with pushing and shoving in the background of another clip as German police swooped in to try and calm the situation down.

Netherlands fans kept attacking the pub, with most of the England supporters ‘retreating’ inside the pub, although some can be seen chucking bottles, only riling the Dutch up more.

Simon Stone tweeted: “UK Football Policing Unit say five people have suffered minor injuries as a result of disorder in Dortmund. Say there are groups of ‘risk supporters’ who have travelled to the city from the Netherlands. Advising fans to go to areas where there is a German police presence.”

Leo Woeho, said to MailOnline: ‘There was provocation from both sides. They were singing songs.

‘The Dutch were saying to the English that they were going to go home and lose tonight.

‘Then I saw the Dutch fans trying to take the England flag and that’s when the trouble started.

‘The Dutch fans started throwing things like tables and chairs and bottles and then the England fans retaliated.’ ‘He said nobody was seriously injured, although police made several arrests.

‘There is a lot of damage, a TV has been smashed, furniture broken and damage is elsewhere.

‘It was quite scary and it is a shame. It means we have to close and open now until tomorrow.’

A spokesperson for the UK Football Policing Unit said: ‘We are aware of some reports and videos circulating of disorder in Dortmund.

‘It appears that there have been several instances of Dutch fans attacking England fans in bars and attempting to steal flags.

‘We understand this has resulted in minor injuries to five people. We are also aware that in addition to the tens of thousands of Dutch fans there to enjoy the game, there are groups of risk supporters who have travelled to Dortmund from the Netherlands.

‘Our officers are at the location supporting German colleagues. We would advise supporters to be aware of their surroundings and seek areas where there is a German Police presence.’

‘Dutch fans. Not so friendly,’ one user posted on Twitter. ‘Having a quiet drink – England and Dutch together, good vibes.

‘Group of Dutch fans (we’ve been told Feyenoord) attacked the English out of the blue. No reason.

‘Police have told us to stay here. Dutch firms everywhere picking off England fans.’
