Eight England fans have been arrested in Frankfurt, where the Three Lions took on Denmark on Thursday night in their Euro 2024 clash.<\/p>\n

One was detained for riding an e-scooter while under the influence of alcohol.<\/p>\n

Others were held for bodily harm and violating narcotics laws.<\/p>\n

The police also confirmed one arrest had been made after a person attempted to enter the stadium dressed as a referee – though their nationality was not specified.<\/p>\n

In other developments, the UK Football Policing Unit is looking to speak to a man in connection with an assault that took place outside the stadium where England played Serbia last Sunday.<\/p>\n

An England fan suffered a broken jaw – and investigations lead Supt Mike Anders said: “The victim of this assault has received quite serious injuries in what we believe was an unprovoked attack.<\/p>\n

“We are keen to identify the man in this picture as soon as we possible can to help with our enquiries.<\/p>\n

“He is also believed to be an England supporter.”<\/p>\n

Hessen Police said no Danish fans were arrested in the city yesterday.<\/p>\n

A spokesman added that there was an “exuberant mood” among the fan groups – and despite the arrests, there was a “peaceful togetherness on the streets”.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, three England fans were also arrested by German police.<\/p>\n

Their alleged offences included bottle throwing, throwing a missile at an officer, and being in possession of drugs.<\/p>\n

Although there was a small amount of unrest, the UK Football Policing Unit said no major issues were reported as 2,000 fans packed into the main city square.<\/p>\n

“This is indicative of what we have seen across Germany so far, with the vast majority of England fans behaving extremely well,” the statement added.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the Group C clash – which ended in a 1-1 draw – local detectives had classed the match as “high risk”.<\/p>\n

But while there was an increased police presence in and around the stadium, there was no ban on alcohol sales within the venue.<\/p>\n

In the run-up to England’s match against Serbia last weekend, riot police were forced to intervene outside a restaurant festooned with Serbian flags.<\/p>\n

Video posted on social media showed men throwing chairs at each other.<\/p>\n

Seven Serbia supporters<\/strong><\/a> and one England fan were detained after the brawl and missed the game.<\/p>\n

PC Stuart Dickerson, from the UK Football Policing Unit, said: “We have seen people openly taking cocaine off the back of their hands.<\/p>\n

“They’re drinking beer that’s a lot stronger than they’re used to and people tend to get carried away and do things they don’t do at home.”<\/p>\n

He warned that “the slightest thing” can change the dynamic in the crowd after hours of drinking – with something as little as a smashed bottle or a cross word sparking a fight.<\/p>\n

“They’re singing a song and all of a sudden, they just turn, and you see the body language change, the chest puffs up,” he added.<\/p>\n

Spotters in the crowd have identified English supporters who have previous convictions for football violence – and at the time of the interview, PC Dickerson said about 100 known hooligans had been seen.<\/p>\n
