POLICE are reminding football fans to enjoy a safe World Cup and are reminding licensed premises to serve fans responsibly.

A large crowd of England supporters gathered at The Cross following the team’s 2-1 win over Tunisia on Monday evening and were seen banging on cars as they drove past.

Forces across Worcestershire have increased patrols on England match days and are warning there will be “zero tolerance” to violence and disorder during the tournament.

Emily Louise Clarke, who had just finished work at the Whitehouse Hotel on Foregate Street, filmed footage of fans gathered in the city centre as police vans arrived.

The 17-year-old said one person was taken away in a police van, however, added it was “an amazing atmosphere to see everyone coming together supporting our country.”

Chief Inspector Melanie Crowther said a “small rise in violent disturbances” was seen in the county following Monday’s match, in which England clinched the win in injury time.

The inspector confirmed officers had made one arrest in the county following the game.

Siân Telfer, writing on Facebook, said “fans behaviour was appalling”.

“I don’t mind people celebrating in the streets, but this was on a main road and they were banging on cars, shouting at people and running in front of moving cars.

“It’s a shame that people like this seem to think that it’s okay to do this.”

Gilly Erica said: “We saw a mob all leaving Mode shouting and jostling. It's was intimidating.”

Chief Inspector Crowther went on to say: “We want to take this opportunity to remind fans watching the matches to do so safely.

“We're all looking forward to watching England's second match after such a promising start to the tournament.

“But I do want to remind people that we will be taking a zero-tolerance approach to those who think they can use the tournament as an excuse to commit crime and create disorder, causing a nuisance to the wider public.”

She added, “patrols will be in our hot spot areas during the matches to respond to any incidents” but that if you see anything concerning to report it via 101.
