Massive brawl between Russian football fans leaves at least 7 injured
Chaos erupted in the streets of the Russian city of Tver on Saturday night after fans from competing football teams started a massive brawl that left at least seven injured.
More than 60 people were part of the fighting that broke out after Zenit St. Petersburg’s reserve team tied with FC Tver, according to the state news agency TASS.
Videos said to be from the brawl in central Tver showed injured men lying in the street with blood on their clothes.
There was also that of a hooded man kicking another man in the head and then punching someone.
Russian sports media outlets said those involved fled the scene when police arrived.
Police are investigating the incident and are focused on why Spartak Moscow fans had travelled to Tver even though their team was not playing there.
