Rival football fans allegedly clashed in Bristol yesterday, with footage showing a group of people surging towards an alleyway near Temple Meads as police sirens sounded. A witness claims ugly scenes developed in the city centre yesterday (April 1) after around 200 fans got off the train ahead of Bristol City's match against Reading.
The large group is said to have become embroiled in a fracas at around 1pm in an alleyway opposite the station. A video shows a police car arriving at the roadside and an officer running into the alleyway, with the group quickly dispersing.
The footage was captured by Ricky Tomlison from Keynsham, who was in the area waiting to meet his brother. Ricky, 35, reported: “The Reading fans poured off the train and as they came across the road another group of fans appeared from a side alley.
