"We class Donny as the Wild West of South Yorkshire,” PC Gill told the cameras.
Footage showed a number of officers pinning the man to the ground, with police yelling: “Calm yourself down!” as two women nearby tried to intervene, telling police: “He’s a good lad, with a heart of gold.”
As the struggle continued, it emerged the man held on the floor was a Leeds United fan and an officer was seen telling him: “You’re a Leeds United supporter? Come on, we’re better than that!”
