Glass can also be heard smashing, as well as screaming and shouting.

Men in high-vis jackets, presumably stewards or station security, then try and forced a group back up the steps and outside the station.

A man then appears in shot bleeding from a head wound, and he is led away from the violence by another.

The fighting continues even as fans are moved off the steps. Punches rain down on some of the men, while others are in shot holding huge sticks that they use as weapons.

In the game, A stunning strike from Marek Hamsik cancelled out Ricardo Quaresma's penalty as Napoli forced a 1-1 draw at Besiktas on Tuesday to stay on course for the last 16 of the Champions League.

Portugal winger Quaresma crashed the ball in from the spot in the 78th minute after Nikola Maksimovic handled. Visiting captain Hamsik levelled four minutes later with a rasping drive from outside the area.
