Updated | By Kriya Gangiah
English fans have been in the spotlight after their behaviour in France for the EURO 2016, but this is taking it a little too far.
A video has been shared online reportedly showing English football fans throwing coins and mocking what appear to be children begging for money.
Footage, shot outside a bar in the French city of Lille, showed fans standing and chanting ahead of England and Russia's second games in the Euro 2016 Championship.

The scenes come after days of ugly clashes between British, French and Russians.
The videos caused angry reactions on Twitter:
Ashamed to be English, ashamed to be human even when I see something like this. Utter mob mentality, poor kids. https://t.co/bRd3S1OXWQ
