Pic:Fans clash at Wembley during Scotland vs England World cup qualifier
Sports reporter(wp/es):
Shocking video footage captured the moment fights broke out among supporters at Wembley stadium as England defeated Scotland 3-0.
The video appears to show men throwing punches in a Wembleystand as other supporters try to pull them back.
The footage, which was sent via Snap Chat, shows the two men lashing out as one man punches the other in the head repeatedly.
In a separate incident one fan was left bloodied and had to receive medical attention from police and stadium security.
It came hours after Scottish supporters descended on Trafalgar Square climbing on the iconic lions, swimming in the fountains and littering the landmark with empty beer cans and rubbish.
The fans invaded the square hours after the Armistice Day parade to remember those killed in the First World War.
Shocked Londoners took to social media to express their disgust.
One Twitter user wrote: “To the Scotland 'fans' trashing the remembrance tribute in Trafalgar Square, and the public toilets? You're scum.”
Another user said: “This is how Scottish football fans leave Trafalgar Square on #ArmisticeDay. Don't hold your breath for a condemnation from @NicolaSturgeon!”
One person was arrested in Trafalgar Square on suspicion of common assault, while a second was arrested at Baker Street station on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly, police said.
Police were unable to confirm if anyone was arrested at the stadium.
