Comic Eddie Izzard went for a jog – and ran straight into a street brawl.

The TV and stand-up star, 47, bravely stepped in to break up the battle.

An onlooker said: “Eddie was running by clutching an England flag for some reason when he saw this chap being kicked in the head by another. He decided to stop it.

“There was lots of pushing and shoving and Eddie got some scratches on his arm.”

Cops arrived outside a pub in Whitechapel, east London, and took away a baseball-cap wearing man. No one was charged.

Eddie’s spokesman said: “Eddie just happened to be passing and wanted to help out.”
