Euro 2016: England fans in fresh clashes with police
10 June 2016 UK
Police in Marseille have deployed tear gas for a second evening to disperse England fans gathered ahead of the Euro 2016 football championships.
Officers in riot gear clashed with fans in the streets. Bottles were thrown at police, Press Association reported.
One England fan and one local man were arrested following trouble on Thursday night, when police also used tear gas.
The first tournament game, between the hosts and Romania in Paris, is due to start at 20:00 BST.
The fresh clashes took place outside a pub in the Old Port district, the same area that had been affected on Thursday.
