Hungary fans clash with police at Wembley Stadium during World Cup qualifying game

London: England’s World Cup qualifying draw with Hungary was overshadowed by fighting between visiting supporters and the police that was sparked by a report of racism.

Just over a month after England players were subjected to racist chanting in Budapest, fights broke out between Hungary fans and police when a spectator was arrested for allegedly racially abusing a Wembley steward.

There were also unconfirmed reports that as police started to film the disorder, Hungarian ultras wearing balaclavas attacked them and tried to take their camera.

The ugly scenes were sparked 10 minutes into the match when officers attempted to arrest a spectator for racially abusing a steward.

A cluster of away supporters stormed and forced back police at a gangway entrance in the lower tier, with some officers seen wielding batons during the skirmish.

The incident occurred soon after Hungary fans booed the England players for taking the knee ahead of kick-off in the match that finished 1-1.
