Cops released a picture of the man they believe to have been involved in the alleged attack
The lead investigator in the case, Mike Ankers, said: “The victim of this assault has received quite serious injuries in what we believe was an unprovoked attack.”
The alleged attack happened after the England versus Serbia match on Sunday June 16.
UK footballing authorities have released a photo of the suspect who they believe is also a Three Lions supporter.
Two England fans were also left requiring medical help after Thursday’s night pitiful draw to Denmark after celebrations of the Three Lions’ opening goal went too far.
Trouble flared up before England’s Euros curtain raiser against Serbia as chairs were thrown in a pub brawl – leaving an English fan with blood pouring from his head.
Sources at the scene said a group of yobs appeared to have started chaos in a restaurant near the venue city of Gelsenkirchen five hours before kick-off.
Before kick-off 200 German riot police were called in to try and restore order as bottles and glasses filled the air during the brawl.
Police at the scene said they believed the English had started the trouble – but English fans blamed the Serbs.
Cops later confirmed that six Serbs had been arrested but there were no English arrests.
