Investigation Underway After Alleged Machete Incident at Maltese Bar Involving England Fan

Jun 23 2023

Authorities are currently looking into reports of a disturbing incident involving an England fan and a machete-wielding bouncer at a bar in Paceville.

The alleged altercation took place at Beggars Inn on Saturday, following Malta’s disappointing defeat against England in the Euro 2024 qualifiers.

However, the management of Beggars Inn has vehemently denied the claims of a machete incident.

The Malta Police Force are currently investigating the alleged incident.

Henry Winter, chief football writer for The Times, took to Twitter on Sunday to describe the alleged incident involving an England fan. According to Winter, the fan was asked to put his shirt back on but refused. A bouncer then approached him, brandishing a large machete and giving chase until the fan reached the street. Winter reported that the fan was unharmed but understandably frightened, while the bar staff and locals appeared unfazed by the commotion.
