LAS had said there was "no excuse" for the vandalism which meant the car had to be taken off the road to be fixed.

In a tweet following the incident, LAS said: "This vehicle is now off the road and unable to respond to patients.

"We are better than this England..."

A picture of the girl on the bonnet was tweeted out by Met Police forces on Saturday evening.

A few men were also pictured on the vehicle's roof as football fans thronged the car and cheered them on.

They have not been identified.
