Shocking video shows supporters throwing a mat over a barrier as police shout at them to ‘get back’.

As the crowd gets larger officers are forced to whip out their batons and one ends up on the ground after being pushed.

Before the clash, Brighton claimed a historic first ever win after welcoming Ajax to the Amex.

Roberto De Zerbi’s side played European greats Ajax off the park as Joao Pedro and fellow summer signing Ansu Fati put an end to their run of five without a win

It comes after video earlier this month showed a Brighton fan on the floor in agony after he was allegedly pushed to the ground by a French cop.

Tensions flared following the Seagulls’ 2-2 draw with Marseille on October 6 as supporters were shut in the stadium for hours after the European clash.

Fans heading to the south of France had been warned they would be held up for at least 45 minutes for safety reasons.

But furious football lovers complained they were kept back for at least two hours with no water offered.
