Shocking moment Man City fans are punched and left bleeding on public transport

This is the shocking moment a group of Manchester City fans were punched in the head and left bleeding in a brutal clash before the team's FA Cup win on Sunday.

Video posted to social media shows the horrific scenes as two young lads were attacked on a Metrolink tram service before City's 5-0 win against Huddersfield at the Etihad stadium yesterday.

One victim, who is wearing a Manchester City kit, with his face covered in blood, can be seen taking a devastating blow to the face from an attacker before slumping against the tram's handrails.

Another fan also covers his face as he is hit with a barage of punches, while concerned members of the public tell them to 'leave him'.

It was claimed on social media that the attackers were Huddersfield fans and had 'smacked' one of the lads with a pint glass.

The brutal fight eventually stopped when one of the young lad's friends seperated the group.

Manchester Evening News reported that police officers are investigating the brutal clash after they attended the scene.

He was given first aid by Metrolink staff and was taken to hospital. Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said it has not made any arrests at this time.

Danny Vaughan, Head of Metrolink at Transport for Greater Manchester told Manchester Evening News: 'TfGM has been made aware of an incident that took place on a Metrolink tram this evening following the Manchester City V Huddersfield game.

'Nobody has come forward at this stage to report the incident to Metrolink or Great Manchester Police (GMP), but we would encourage any witnesses and the person affected to get in touch with GMP directly as soon as possible.

'The safety of our passengers and staff is absolutely critical and we will be working closely with our Metrolink Operator,
