POLICE are searching for an England fan who appeared to put a mystery powder up his nose while celebrating an England goal.
England’s supporters were sent into raptures when Jude Bellingham’s overhead kick sent their Euro 2024 tie with Slovakia into extra-time.
A clip shared on social media showed a fan appearing to snort a substance before laughing with fellow fans on Sunday evening.
Northumbria Police has now said it was investigating the incident at an open-air venue in Newcastle.
A spokesman said: “We have been made aware of footage circulating on social media of a male appearing to take a substance while in Newcastle’s Times Square (on Sunday) evening.
“Enquiries into the footage are ongoing and anyone with information should send us a DM via social media or use the live chat function on our website.”
During the video, a bearded man dressed in black appears to raise a spoon with a substance on it up to his nose, before returning it to a container.
He then brings the spoon up a second time, this time putting it into his mouth.
It came as England fans celebrated Bellingham’s 95th-minute equaliser in their Round of 16 tie with Slovenia on Sunday.
The footage was aired on Sky Sports News at 6.57pm as ex-England boss Sam Allardyce discussed the match.
