Police are hunting for a football fan who crashed through a bus shelter while celebrating England making it through to the semi-finals of the World Cup.

The man was pictured standing on top of a bus stop in Clapham Junction before then jumping through the glass and landing on the floor.

Metropolitan Police said it was investigating the incident that occurred at around 5.25pm on Saturday. Officers are now appealing for anyone who knows the man to come forward with information.

The incident caused disruption to traffic in the area, shortly after England's match against Sweden had finished.

In Borough Market, fans were pictured on top of an ambulance - leading to it being smashed and unable to be used on a shift.
