Female Oasis fan left scratched and bruised after being mobbed by two men who 'fought her' for Liam Gallagher's maracas after he threw them to her in the crowd
A woman has been left scratched and bruised after she was mobbed by two men for Liam Gallagher 's maracas which he threw to her in a crowd. Oasis fan Chantal Arpino, 42, was 11 rows back when Liam threw the instrument into the air after finishing the show. But after catching them, several men nearby allegedly began fighting her for them, snatching them from her and leaving her injured. Upset mortgage advisor Chantal - who paid the best part of £1,000 for tickets - said the ordeal at the band's Wembley show on Sunday night had ruined her experience. She has several cuts to her hands as well as large bruises on her legs, where the two men allegedly crushed her to prise the pair of maracas from her hands. Photos of a group of men with what appear to be the maracas were then posted on Facebook by a man called Adam Warwick, who wrote: 'Yes we got one! Anyone see my mate in the black T-shirt grab it to confirm it's legit before we consider selling it to fund more tickets? What a night.' It is not known if these were the men who wrestled Chantal. Chantal, of Chesham, Buckinghamshire, had travelled to the event with her partner Matt Marchant, 47, and was among 90,000 fans who packed into the London stadium. 'The maracas were tied together and when I grabbed them I've got my hands round both of them,' she said. 'One hand has been pushed into another; I think the cuts are actually from my own nails. 'The one to my left was quite big, he's kind of over me, he's got his hand over my hand and he's squeezing. 'The other one he's literally trying to prise my fingers off. 'I told him ''You are going to snap my fingers, this is really painful''. I couldn't let go as my hands were trapped between the maracas. 'It was horrible. The maracas separated and then the guy who had his hands on me, he picked one up and put it under his jumper. 'I was literally shouting ''You're hurting me. You are going to snap my fingers.'' He would not let go. The strength they used was unreal. I've never experienced anything like it. 'I don't even know where the bruise to my leg came from. I think the guy to my left must have been kneeling on me. 'It would have been a lovely memento, but the behaviour. It's not even about being a girl. Why behave like that?' She added: 'The level of strength used - think about what you're doing guys.' Chantal said she still had a good night, but it was a 'shame that was the ending'. She also posted on Facebook about her experience. 'Just a little reminder to not behave like animals please,' she said. 'Someone has posted their delight at securing one of Liam's maracas from last night's concert. 'This was at my expense, it's not OK to wrestle someone to the ground for any reason let alone for maracas! 'I completely get that it was the heat of the moment but just remember there is a human being that you are wrestling with, two guys against one girl is not ok. 'I had no way to defend myself as both my hands were trapped between the maracas and one man's vic-like grip, with the other man trying to snap my fingers back. 'I can only assume one of them also grabbed my leg given the nicely developing set of bruises on my thigh! 'Cheers guys, hope you're proud of yourselves! 'So if you are lucky enough to go to one of the remaining concerts and lucky enough to have a tambourine or maracas launched in your direction please remember you are not animals!! 'Have an amazing time, it really is an incredible experience! The bruises and cuts will fade, the memories of a brilliant night won't.' People said they were horrified by Chantal's experience. One said: 'It really is disgusting that people behave this way!' Another penned: 'Just wrong. If that was them in the pic I'd have them for assault.' 'How awful for you! All for money,' another said. The post on the same Facebook group from those who apparently got the maracas drew widespread criticism. Images show a group in Oasis T-shirts with the maracas as well as one maraca tucked up in bed. It is not known if these were the men who wrestled Chantal. Replying to the post, one Oasis fan said: 'Saw someone wrestle one from a woman's hand causing her injury so could be legit.' Chantal was inundated with responses to her post. She later said: 'Blimey! Thanks for all the responses, far too many to personally reply to but honestly thank you for your kind words and best wishes. 'I'm absolutely fine, like I said bruises will fade and cuts will heal, I had a great night and the memory will last a lifetime. 'I did see one of the guys/his friend posted and someone called him out for wrestling with a girl. 'I just felt it was an opportunity to speak out and remind us all that in the heat of the moment we shouldn't lower our standards. 'It's irrelevant in my eyes whether I was a girl or not, just don't behave that way full stop! 'I sincerely hope the two guys wouldn't usually behave in this way and it's a one off when caught in the moment. 'Thank you all xx.' The day before, a fan plunged to his death from the upper tier of block 511. The Metropolitan police said a man in his 40s died after suffering injuries consistent with a fall at the end of the band's performance at about 10.19pm on Saturday night.

The Brit actor shunned swanky VIP seats across the London venue for a very ordinary spot in the crowd, where he was seen up off his seat and dancing to the array of Britpop hits.

The Batman movie star, 39, blended into the crowds in a dark blue T-Shirt, with model fiance Suki Waterhouse also present. He was captured in a video posted to TikTok, with the caption: "Went to see oasis and ended up seeing the LOML." In the comments, fans were quick to praise Robert for shunning celeb-only areas. One wrote: "Whaaaaat this is amazing." Another posted: "That's so great that they had normal tickets and weren't in VIP." A third noted: "OMG," as another put: "I'm sorry what." The screen star recently spoke out about his "sipping" diet which he employed to get into shape for his Batman role. BAND SHOCK Oasis' Wembley dates have been marred by the tragic death of one fan during the weekend. Oasis fan plunges to his death 'from upper tier' of Wembley stadium during reunion gig as witness reveals horror Liam and Noel both spoke of their "shock" following the tragic fall, which occurred during the Gallagher brothers' sell-out performance at Wembley on Saturday night. The man - aged in his 40s - was understood to be sitting in the upper tier of the stadium. The highest stands in the 90,000-seat venue are some 170ft above the ground. Police and paramedics attended to the man but he was pronounced dead at the scene. The brothers said they were "shocked and saddened" to hear about the fan's death. In a statement released on Sunday, they said: 'We are shocked and saddened to hear of the tragic death of a fan at the show last night. "Oasis would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the person involved.' LONDON CALLING Saturday's gig was the fourth of seven London shows on Oasis' blockbuster reunion tour. The band crashed ticket sites when they announced they were making a comeback last year - as more than 14 million fans tried to secure a seat at the highly-anticipated gigs. Last month Liam and Noel reunited on stage in Cardiff for the first time since a backstage bust-up broke up the band 16 years ago. The Britpop icons then returned to their hometown of Manchester for five dates in July. They performed a 23-song setlist of classic hits, including Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger and Live Forever to a roaring crowd of 80,000 people at Heaton Park. They will head to America later this month before returning to London for two more gigs in September. 7 Robert is best known for his role in the Twilight movies Credit: Andrew Cooper,SMPSP/Summit Entertainment 7 The Manchester band is currently on a run of gigs in London Credit: X/oasis

Jamie Carragher looks worse for wear as Sky Sports pundit belts out Oasis songs on the tube with fans after Wembley gig
Liverpool legend and Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher was seen looking worse for wear after an Oasis gig over the weekend as he joined fellow fans on the train to sing one of the band's most iconic songs. Oasis have made their long-awaited return this summer, with the Gallagher brothers - Liam and Noel - joining forces once again on the back of a number of years of hostility between the two. The tour began on July 4 in Wales at the Principality Stadium, Cardiff, and has so far made its way through Manchester and London, with upcoming dates also in Ireland, Scotland, and the United States among others. There were five dates in total - all at Wembley Stadium - with the first on July 25 and the last on Saturday night as the band pulled the curtain down on the English capital leg. And fans were sure to make the most of the event, with Carragher seemingly in attendance over the weekend to enjoy the music - and not just inside the stadium. The former defender-turned-pundit was snapped singing along to the band's Half The World Away tune, joined by other fans as they boarded the Metropolitan Line. Jamie Carragher looked worse for wear as he joined Oasis fans on the tube following a one of the band's gigs at Wembley Shared by Tiktok account @gembeau84, Carragher was seen in a black Oasis bucket hat, with the background making it clear he had boarded the tube line to Aldgate. The train was between Baker Street and Great Portland Street, but that appeared to be the last thing on the minds of those in the video - including Carragher. The 47-year-old, who played 737 times for Liverpool, slurred his words and there were awkward periods of silence as those on the train sieved through their brains to try and find the right words before the chorus kicked in. They were all then in full voice, with Carragher swaying back and forth as he belted out the famous tune in his Liverpool accent. At the end of the video, he could be seen asking someone off camera: 'Do you even know any Oasis songs?' as others laughed in response. The pundit, though, overall seems to be making the most of his time off, with top level football to return to television screens soon following the summer break. And he has not been the first person linked to football to watch Oasis this summer, with the likes of Pep Guardiola snapped at the band's Manchester gig. While the Football League has already returned and Premier League sides have been in pre-season action, there is still over a week until competitive football returns in the English top flight. When it does, Carragher will be back at the day job with Sky Sports as a pundit, with just a number of days remaining until he may need to put his partying on hold for a little while.
