Polish police arrest 27 after soccer clash
September 29, 2008
WARSAW, Poland (AP) -Polish soccer fans punched and kicked each other during a game, leading to 27 arrests.
The outburst happened in the western city of Szczecin at a first-division game over the weekend.
Footage broadcast on state television showed Wisla Plock fans scaling a fence to get into a section reserved for fans of the home team, Flota Swinoujscie. Fans from both teams attacked each other wildly before police arrived to restore order.
Officials have struggled for years to quell hooliganism at Polish soccer stadiums. Authorities have stepped up efforts to combat such violence, with the country the co-host for the 2012 European Championship.
