A woman was spotted 'punching a police horse' and trying to pull its rider to the ground during a vicious brawl between football fans.
A bartender said they saw the woman hit the animal outside The Wellington pub in Bristol following Bristol Rovers’ 1-0 defeat to Oxford.
More than 50 uniformed officers rushed to the scene after the fight broke out shortly after the full-time whistle at the Memorial today.
The bartender, who asked not to be named, told the Bristol Post : “Rovers lost 1-0 in the last few minutes of the match and the Oxford fans came back to the pub after and it all kicked off.
