Instant karma for drunken English fans as the irate Benidorm local charges into the crowd and punches several yobs who blocked the road and banged on his car while singing Ten German Bombers
England fans chanting ‘Ten German bombers’ were attacked by angry locals as they blocked a street in Benidorm, with video showing the brawl breaking out.
A group of rowdy Three Lions supporters sang the controversial chant as they celebrated England reaching the last 16 after a 0-0 draw with Slovenia last Tuesday.
Raucous crowds filled the streets of the Spanish seaside resort, a popular holiday destination among Britons, stopping a local from driving down the street.
The unruly football fans smashed on the roof of the man’s silver car outside the Queens Arms English Pub.
The enraged driver jumped out of the car and confronted one of the men, who was filmed taunting and filming him, then punched him in the face.

The muscular man then turned his attention to two other fans who tried to flee, hitting them both.
The attacker then went back and hit the first supporter, who seemed unfazed, three more times.
Several other men then start joining in, shouting and throwing punches at the England fans.
The threat of violence caused dozens of drunken tourists to flee the street, with a motorbike being overturned in the chaos as they fled.
Ten German Bombers is a chant about the RAF shooting down Luftwaffe planes during World War II, and is generally considered distasteful.

It mocks the German victims in the war and is sung to the tune of She’ll Be Coming Round the Mountain. It contains the sentence ‘And the RAF from England shot them down’.
Some fans have adopted the technique during international matches, including the current European Championship tournament, despite negative reactions.
England manager Gareth Southgate previously called the chant ‘completely unacceptable’.
He said this after a friendly match in Dortmund was marred by fans chanting: ‘We have gone further than those times. Or should have gone further than those times.’
