Moment violence erupts as football hooligans involved in mass brawl ahead of match Full story:
Violence flared on the streets as football hooligans were involved in a mass brawl on Saturday afternoon ahead of Oldham Athletic's game against Wrexham at Boundary Park.
The scenes were filmed by a shopper looking on from the Tesco Extra store on Ashton Road West, a residential street in Failsworth, Oldham, at around 2pm. Separate footage, meanwhile, shows fighting breaking out on nearby Lord Lane. Riot officers from Greater Manchester Police were reportedly called to the scene in both cases.
A member of the public, a man, is captured running away and a car with people inside ends up trapped in the midst of the violence in the middle of the road. A police van parks in the middle of the road, splitting the two gangs, before officers form a line to move a number of those involved back.
