Riot police crush ‘screaming’ World Cup football fans in Qatar

Spain and Morocco fans were caught up in horrific scenes ahead of their World Cup clash tonight.

Some fans were pushed and trapped against a metal fence before the round of 16 match at the Education City Stadium.

Disturbing video footage shows fans of both teams stuck on a narrow pathway between two fences.

Riot police and security guards are seen at the end blocking their way and shoving the supporters back.

Other footage shows a huge crowd as police in helmets clashed with the fans.

Security officials reportedly blamed the crush on fans attempting to enter the stadium without tickets.
