Footage has emerged of Tottenham fans being struck with batons by Barcelona security staff as violent scenes unfolded during their Champions League clash at the Nou Camp on Tuesday night.

A video uploaded to social media by a Spurs supporter appears to show stadium staff striking fans as the game played out in the Spanish city.

It remains unclear what caused the security team to react with such brutal force but the footage does show fans attempting to get them to stand down.

A fan by the name of Alex, who posted the video, called on Spurs to report the incident to UEFA.

He wrote on Twitter: "I just need to address this issue which happened last night during the game.

"Absolutely disgusting behaviour by Barcelona stewards hitting us with batons for no reason!

"@SpursOfficial please send this to @UEFA @Champions League it's disgusting.

"We were not in our correct seats that were on our ticket but everyone was in a seat and we were minding our own business watching the game and they just kept on moaning and moaning.

"We didn’t want any trouble! They wanted trouble from the start. Just let us watch game in peace."

The video shows the security staff in high visibility clothing looking extremely furious and then hitting fans with their batons. Fans can be heard singing "we've got you on video."

Some of the security team even try to lean over other supporters to lash out and can then be seen striking supporters with aggressive blows.

Fans could not seem to believe what they were seeing as they vented their angry with a number of expletives.

Spurs supporters also clambered other seats to try and protect those at the front of the stand, where the security team were placed.

It is not the first time Barcelona's security staff have been hit by criticism after Chelsea fans also came under attack before their Champions League last-16 second leg in March.
