That day, on a beach in Essex, chairs fly

Description:

A police investigation has been launched after footage emerged of football fans throwing tables and chairs at each other on a crowded beach. The rampage unfolded around a seaside kiosk in Southend, Essex, England, on Sunday, as temperatures reached 28°C (yes, that's a lot for our English friends). A dozen men repeatedly threw beach chairs and beer bottles at each other. Thousands of people descended on the seafront on the day England beat Croatia in their Euro 2020 opener, leading to sunstroke and alcohol-fueled altercations. Footage of the brawl shows passersby moving out of the way to avoid being caught in the crossfire as the fighting escalated.
