Tumult: Three casualties at European Cup Competitions
VIENNA / LINZ. Riots and riots in Vienna and Linz.
The Vienna police were in action with about 1,000 officials.
Hundreds of violent & # 39; fans & # 39; Slovakian football club Slovan Bratislava, who played in Rapid during the European Cup in Vienna, were completely sidelined on Thursday.
Already at the entrance to the border crossing at the mountains the police stopped Bivak hats, baseball bats, knives, steel bars and a boxing bracket. Ten fighters were forbidden to travel to the match. On their way to the stadium, a violent door was torn open by guests. "Moreover, intentional cables were torn off so that the metro could not continue technically," said police spokesman Patrick Maierhofer. The operation of the U4 was interrupted for one hour.
The police accompanied hundreds of Slovakians on foot to the stadium. It was about attacks on civil servants, fireworks were lit. The police then used pepper spray, two officials were injured. Three tram lines had to be stopped. Finally, the rioters who missed the 0-4 debacle of their team against Rapid plundered a petrol station on Linzer Strasse and steel objects of several hundred euros. It remained calm in and around the stadium.
