French police used water cannon and tear gas on rioters as England football fans were involved in bloody clashes in Marseilles for the third day running.
A Three Lions supporter was reported to be critically injured after the Mediterranean city descended into violent chaos hours before the side kicks off its Euro 2016 campaign against Russia.
Fist fights and bottle throwing broke out between the supporters and their Russian and French counterparts in Marseilles' Old Port this afternoon.
Broken glass lay strewn across the square and crunched underfoot as the police fired tear gas into the crowds causing them to run.
Fans were seen being beaten to the ground by rival fans and repeatedly kicked in the head.
One English fan was seen sitting on the ground covered in blood with a bandage around his head while another man was reportedly given CPR and taken to hospital after an apparent cardiac arrest.
French paper L'Equipe reported that one England fan had to be resuscitated after being beaten by Russian hooligans and four others were also hurt.
Police used water cannon to try to control the fighting as they struggled to hold back the different groups.
Bloodied fans were seen fleeing the scene as missiles continued to be thrown.
