Sky News said it was 250. The 250 that were arrested weren't all fighting or causing trouble. The whole group of people were taken though only about 20 of the group were actually doing something wrong.
My mate's over there. He told me the police were watching the German fans taunting the English fans who were just having a drink. Of course a few idiots decided to retaliate, then the police moved in. They could have told the German fans to move on or stop inciting the English fans but it seems the police wanted it to happen. Maybe they were board & looking for a bit of action?
It was funny how Sky News said "250 England fans have been arrested on a 2nd day of rioting." They didn't tell you that the 1st day of rioting was nothing to do with English fans as all the arrested fans were German.
EDIT: Just been confirmed on Sky News that only 3 England fans have been charged out of 250.
