THIS is the shocking moment a Wigan Athletic fan was knocked out by an alleged Sheffield United supporter in a brawl.
Footage shows a fight erupting on the platform of Sheffield train station between a group of men.
The football fans appear to be winding each other up at first with pushing and shoving.
But thugs from both sides then begin throwing punches at each other dangerously close to the train tracks.
As more pile in, one man is knocked out cold to the ground as the woman filming gasps.
A bystander then comes rushing over to move him on to his side.

Another wrote: “This is one of the most pathetic things I’ve ever seen.”
While one person fumed: “This is appalling. It’s only a game but taking it too far for some can lead to this.
“A caught-up bystander could have fallen on the tracks as well.”
The fight came as promotion-chasing Sheffield United beat Wigan, who are currently bottom of the Championship, 1-0.
