AN ENGLAND fan was reportedly chased out of a bar in Malta by a machete-wielding bouncer.
Three Lions supporters headed to Malta in their thousands for Friday’s Euro 2024 qualifier.
And one of the 4,000-plus seemingly had a fortunate escape after a terrifying incident.
As reported by The Times, the topless England fan was asked to put his shirt back on in the bar.
But when he allegedly refused, it is said that a bouncer came over and pulled out a large machete then chased the supporter out into the street.
The report insists the supporter was unhurt but understandably shaken up.

On the pitch at the national stadium, an own goal then strikes by Trent Alexander-Arnold, Harry Kane and Callum Wilson secured a comfortable 4-0 win for Gareth Southgate’s side.
That took England on to a perfect nine points from three games following wins over Italy and Ukraine.
