A man suffered a broken jaw which required surgery after he was punched several times at a pub in Leeds on the night England was knocked out of the World Cup.
England lost to France in a Quarter Final clash played in Qatar on Saturday, December 10, last year. Several people converged at various pubs across Leeds to watch the game.
And it was at The Box, in Otley Road, Headingley, where the 22-year-old victim was attacked and punched repeatedly. The attack happened sometime between 9pm and 9.30pm, minutes after the final whistle.
