Police have charged and fired tear gas at England fans in Lille as tension mounted amid more violent outbreaks in the French city.
Ahead of a baton charge supporters were heard to chant and red flares were let off amid a stand-off with officers.
Fans from England, Wales, Slovakia and Russia have been gathering in the city for Euro 2016 Group B matches between the countries.
Earlier police used teargas on crowds following scuffles in the city centre, which left at least one person injured.
In the latest disturbances police charged multiple times and were seen hitting people with batons.
An England fan who charged at officers was pepper sprayed.
Despite the bars being shut and a ban on drinking in the street many supporters had been consuming alcohol outside.
Some were seen climbing road signs and while English police - sent out to help with the security operation - have been urging fans to behave, the French police decided to charge in an attempt to disperse the crowds.
The trouble followed an earlier skirmish after a small group of Russians threw a flare at large group of England fans who then charged them.
The Russians left the scene and the remaining British fans were tear gassed.
Fans were also involved in a brawl on a train heading for Lille where England supporters have gathered ahead of their key match against Wales.
Fighting broke out near the main station in Lille, north east France, while a car was severely damaged.
Riot squad members fired tear gas and then charged a group of fans in the city ahead of England's next match in nearby Lens tomorrow.
An AFP reporter saw one fan being treated on the ground. Paramedics appeared to be performing a cardiac massage though the nationality of the injured fan was unclear.
Hundreds of supporters remained in the streets after the incident, drinking beer as anti-riot police looked on.
A separate brawl broke out between England and Wales fans on a train travelling from Calais to Lille. About 15 men were involved, a French security official said.
"There was a fight between England and Wales fans. It was quite violent," the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told AFP.
Several arrests were made when the train arrived in Lille this evening with a British undercover police officer who was onboard helping French authorities to identify the aggressors, the official said.
In footage posted online by ex-England footballer Stan Collymore, one man wearing a green hat is seen smashing wing mirrors off cars parked on the street.
Mr Collymore said: "Somebody threw a, not a grenade, something that went bang towards some England fans and the England fans have just run."
Meanwhile, six Russians have been arrested in connection with the violent clashes that broke out at the weekend.
Three other Russians and a Ukrainian are to be expelled following violence yesterday in northern France, police said.
"Two of the Russians were arrested yesterday evening during a fight in Lille and two after being found drunk in a car with weapons," a spokesperson at the Lille prefecture said.
The weapons were wooden sticks, a police source said.
"Today, the measure is very simple: flood the public space with police so that there is no room for any form of hooliganism," said French Sports Minister Patrick Kanner.
