Footage has emerged appearing to show Liverpool and Manchester City supporters brawling with each other whilst they made their way to Wembley Stadium today.
The incident happened prior to the FA Community Shield clash, which eventually saw City go on to win 5-4 on penalties after it being 1-1 in the 90 minutes.
It shows a number of punches being thrown along with others grabbing one another in front of the on lookers.
A member of the crowd can be seen climbing up from the floor, another is spotted falling backwards and one fan is seen to have a bottle of beer in his hand as the violence carries on.
