A 27-year-old man walked home with a broken leg after falling off a bridge in Leamington yesterday.

Despite suffering serious injuries the man managed to pick himself up and walk back to his home in Warwick Street following the incident.

He was taken to Warwick hospital to be treated for his injuries, which also included a broken jaw.

The man had fallen over the suspension bridge over the River Leam in Mill Road at 3.30am.

Police said the man had been out in the town centre with friends watching the England – Germany game and had visited several local pubs.

DC Andy Smith appealed to anyone who might have seen the man before the incident to contact CID in Leamington on 01926 415000.

He added that police were not treating the incident as suspicious.

Police all over Warwickshire were inundated with calls about fans’ drunken behaviour following England’s win over Germany in Euro 2000.

Following ugly scenes on the streets of Brussels and Charleroi, there were fears that the celebrations could get out of hand.

England have now been threatened with expulsion from the tournament  if the behaviour of their fans does not improve.

Officers were called to numerous incidents in every town following complaints about noise from members of the public, but made only one arrest for drunkenness, in Rugby.

Insp David Barratt of Warwickshire police said the mood in the streets was largely good-humoured.

He said:

 ”People responded to the advice given by officers to leave the town centre areas and to go home.”
