An England fan wearing a Declan Rice No.4 shirt stepped in to break up a wild brawl at an Iceland supermarket in Chapel Market, Islington, North London on Tuesday, 16 June.
The incident, captured on video, showed the man calming tensions as two shoppers fought violently near the checkouts before police arrived at the scene.
Footage shows the England supporter attempting to diffuse the situation when a man wearing a hoodie charged into the shop. The two men grappled on the floor, exchanging blows while other shoppers tried to separate them.
The fan eventually helped escort one of the combatants away from the area.
A large crowd quickly gathered outside the Iceland store, watching the chaos unfold. Passers-by and shoppers stood by, with some recording the disturbing scenes on their phones.
Metropolitan Police officers arrived shortly after to take control of the situation. The England-shirted man was seen speaking with officers, providing his account of the incident.
The video sparked a flurry of social media comments. Some users found humour in the bizarre scene, with one describing the gathering as a “real community” event despite the violence. Others joked about England player Declan Rice’s unexpected presence at the scene.
Iceland Foods and the Metropolitan Police have been contacted for comment regarding the disturbance.
