One witness said: "My initial thoughts were that he was dead."

Ahead of England’s next game against Slovenia on Tuesday police are urging people to “behave responsibly, to look out for one another, and be aware of how their behaviour may impact others”.  

A spokesman for the Ambulance Service said: “We often see a rise in demand during and immediately after high-profile football matches which puts pressure on our services," the spokesman continued.

"We would urge the public to drink and act responsibly while watching the games at the Euro 2024 football Championships to reduce the likelihood of needing the emergency services.”
