Violent clashes erupted between Brighton fans and Ajax supporters at a train station following a Europa League match. Video footage captured the moment police brandished batons in an attempt to quell the unrest.

Violent scenes unfold

The incident occurred after the teams competed in a Europa League match. Shocking footage shows supporters throwing a mat over a barrier while police shout at them to back away. As the crowd grows larger, officers are forced to draw their batons, and one officer ends up on the ground after being pushed.

Brighton's historic win

Prior to the clash, Brighton celebrated their first-ever victory against Ajax at the Amex stadium. Roberto De Zerbi's side outperformed the European giants as Joao Pedro and summer signing Ansu Fati secured the win, ending their five-match winless streak.

Previous incidents

This incident follows a recent video that emerged showing a Brighton fan allegedly being pushed to the ground by a French police officer. Tensions escalated after the Seagulls' 2-2 draw with Marseille on October 6, with supporters being confined to the stadium for several hours after the match.

Complaints of poor treatment

Fans traveling to France were warned of potential delays for safety reasons, with a predicted hold-up of at least 45 minutes. However, disgruntled football lovers claim they were detained for over two hours without any access to water. Reports on social media suggest that some individuals even fainted due to dehydration.

Investigation underway

The British Transport Police has acknowledged the circulating videos showing the fighting at Brighton Station. They are collaborating with Sussex Police to investigate the incident thoroughly.
