Police said in a statement that two vans stopped outside a pub where West Ham fans had gathered in the early hours of Wednesday.

They then got back into the vehicles and left the scene. Police said they were unable to locate the vans, with one of them having a local number plate.
“The injured guest, a 34-year-old man from Britain, was taken to hospital for medical treatment,” Frankfurt police said in a statement.

Tensions are high ahead of the return leg after Eintracht won the first leg in England 2-1, with both teams bidding to reach their first European final in more than 40 years.

German reporters Philipp Hofmeister and Tim Brockmeier, who work for regional broadcaster Hessischer Rundfunk, said they were attacked by West Ham supporters during the first leg.
