England kicked off their crucial World Cup match against Uruguay tonight after a group of innocent fans drinking at a bar in Sao Paulo were attack by a hooded mob of thugs who threw Molotov cocktails, bottles and fireworks.

As the louts – many of them dressed in black - ripped up England flags outside the bar police were called and swooped on the gang who immediately tried to flee the area before being rounded up.


Early reports suggested that at least 10 England fans had to receive hospital treatment after the bar ambush.



Police hold the group of thugs that attacked England fans as they gathered near the Fifa Fanfest in Anhangabau

The violence erupted at the Guanabara pub near the FIFA official Fan Festival area in Anhangabaú as a total of fourteen gang members were then arrested.

They still being held in a Sao Paulo district police station.

Photographs later emerged of some of the Brazilian gang members being rounded up and detained by officers.

When police searched both their pockets and backpacks they found a number to be were carrying an array of weapons – including knives, brass 'knuckle dusters', rockets, boxing mouth guards and a quantity of drugs.

Eyewitnesses told how the gang first descended on the bar throwing Molotov cocktails and fireworks and one man said: 'One minute everything was peaceful and then this screaming mob came steaming down the street and targeted the bar.

None of the English fans had done anything to deserve being picked on.
