After the conflict between the two teams in the European semifinals, a group of England fans rushed into their bus on their way home from Wembley, which shocked the Danish family.
A 9-year-old boy was forced to flee to the top deck because his father was beaten by an English fan and beat him in the abdomen after a group of 40 people found their shirts through the window.
43-year-old Eva Greene urged the police to protect Italian fans in the Euro 2020 final on Sunday night after her family was singled out by some “drunk and aggressive” fans several miles from the stadium.
She described the “electric” feeling when Denmark took the lead 1-0. Although her country lost, she said that they had a good night chatting with other “cute” England fans at Wembley Stadium.
But during their last journey to Dulwich’s home, she found a large group of jubilant England fans jumping over a truck in front of their bus.
She told Standard: “When a group of people saw our Danish T-shirts through the window, we were sitting with a sleeping child.
“They started knocking on the windows and doors, screaming and yelling.
“They started filming us, which was both uncomfortable and weird because we didn’t touch them-we just wanted to go home.”
Allegedly, the bus driver opened the door and let England fans get on the bus, while the American father Lane tried to stop them in the corridor.
“At this time I realized that my son was starting to be scared, and he went up the stairs. I followed him,” Eva said.
“When I turned around, a man jumped up and hit my husband in the stomach. A lovely passenger trying to help us was slapped in the face.”

She confronted the group angrily and told them that she just wanted to let her son go home, but she said that “most of them” kept screaming and beating on the window where the son was sitting.
She said that as the fans continued to yell and give the family a “disregard gesture”, the bus eventually stopped.
She continued: “We are just a family. We just want to support our team. I don’t understand-why don’t we win enough?
“My husband, who is actually an American, is really angry. He told them to be ashamed of themselves. They are humiliating the British team. England deserves better fans.”
The digital communications officer of a well-known law firm said that if England loses on Sunday, her son Henry has begun to worry about the impact on Italian fans.
“We hope to persuade our children to cheer for England on Sunday. A night of idiots will not ruin the lovely friends and neighbors of 6 years.
“I hope the police will take precautionary measures outside of Wembley on Sunday.
“As Henry said,’Who is warning the children of Italy?'”
A Met spokesperson stated that they are investigating allegations that Lordship Lane in East Dulwich was attacked at around 11.50pm on Wednesday, July 7.
“It was alleged that a passenger on the bus was punched and kicked by a man who was part of the crowd blocking the road.
“The victim has not suffered any lasting injuries and does not require hospitalization.
“This incident was reported to the police online in the early morning of Thursday, July 8.”
The force added that there was no record of a second attack and the clash occurred at the door of a bus.
