Police make four arrests after gang of 100 German fans ‘with machetes’ attack Britons in Wembley pub

Police have arrested four men after a mob of 100 German hooligans – some allegedly armed with machetes and knuckle dusters – stormed a family pub near Wembley stadium. 

The gang of thugs descended upon the Green Man, less than a mile away from the stadium, two hours before kick-off of England’s clash with old rivals, Germany. 

Shocking footage of the carnage – which left five people injured – showed a group of people, wearing England hats and scarves, charging through the pub’s beer garden.

Despite their clothing, detectives at the Metropolitan Police said those leading the carnage were ‘believed to be German fans’.

Others hurt suffered head and facial injuries. However, the BBC said none are thought to be in a life-threatening condition with The Times reporting that five people were taken to hospital. 

Describing the carnage, someone on social media wrote: ‘Just having a few casual pints in the green man and all of a sudden 100 Germans come storming in, armed with weapons, attacking kids and elderly women.’

Another person said: ‘Not a pretty sight at the Green Man, England fans enjoying themselves as usual, approx 100 German hooded, masked hooligans ambushed a family pub, people injured, police on horses arrive.

‘Flags stolen. Children in the garden too frightened. Scary.’

A third user added: ‘An experience tonight like no other, and not because of where I am.

‘At The Green Man pub, a group of around 100 Germans came armed with machetes and knuckle dusters.

‘Thankfully me and my friends were inside but I hope all who were outside at the time are safe now.’

One more claimed: ‘My little brother was at green man pub in Wembley before England game tonight.

‘Loads of German ultras attacked the pub. England fan got glassed.

‘One of the German fans got left behind and took a right beating apparently. Needed treatment.’

In a statement, the Met Police told the BBC: ‘At 17:50hrs on Monday, 26 September a group of approximately 100 males, many wearing masks, approached a pub in Dagmar Avenue, Wembley through an alley leading towards the car park.

‘While a number of the group were wearing England hats and scarves, it is believed they were German “fans”.

‘The group entered the beer garden of the pub and began assaulting customers, most of whom were in the area to attend the England vs Germany match. Punches and projectiles including traffic cones were thrown.’

Monday’s football clash between England and Germany in Wembley ended 3-3 following a thrilling fight back by Gareth Southgate’s men after going 2-0 down at early in the second half. 

The game was England’s last before they head to the World Cup in Qatar in November.
