Dutch police on horses clash with England fans in Amsterdam ahead of Holland friendly

DUTCH police charged at England supporters and hit them with batons before their friendly clash with Holland.

The video appears to show little violence amongst those in the capital before heavy-handed coppers raced around the corner.

Wielding batons, England fans were forced to flee as they faced a barrage of attacks from the police.

Police didn't appear to single out any fans in particular but hit those who couldn't escape the area quick enough.

There were around 16 police on foot and approximately six on horses who were attempting to clear the area.

A small group of supporters to the right of the video shows fans throwing punches at one another.

Glass can be heard being smashed as the friendly fixture continues to be marred by videos emerging of trouble in Amsterdam.

At least 25 England fans were arrested last night for drunken behaviour.
