A man was left with blood streaming from a head wound after violence erupted on a tram after the Manchester City v Huddersfield football match.
The violent scenes broke out on a tram after City beat Town in the FA Cup. Video footage appears to show a fracas between a number of people before the man, who is wearing a Manchester City t-shirt, is left with blood across his forehead and cheek. The man then appears to be punched in the face by someone off camera.
