Three Real Sociedad fans, believed to be ultras, were last night stabbed by ultra Lazio fans, who attacked a group of Basque fans in the Italian capital while they were on a terrace and sparked a fierce fight on the eve of a League match both of which will play this Thursday at the Olympic stadium in Rome.
The three royalist fans were attacked with sharp weapons, police sources confirmed to EFE, without knowing so far the severity of their injuries. “It all happened around 11:00 pm local time (10:00 pm GMT), when a group of about 70 royalist fans were attacked by about 80 Lazio ultras when they were somewhere in central Via Leonina, using blunt and sharp objects,” they indicated. the sources.
Upon arriving at the scene, the agents seized many sharp objects and short weapons, while several ultras were arrested in the adjacent streets after fleeing due to the alarm raised by some residents. Police have opened an investigation to find other possible perpetrators of the incidents, also using images from video surveillance systems, the sources added.
In the photos, viral on ‘X’ and published by the ‘Hooligans.cz Official’ account, you can see how during the fierce battle that took place in the area, chairs flew and flares were constantly thrown from one side to the other one to , after a few minutes of fighting, the royalist followers left the area pursued by the ‘Ultras Lazio’, who even attacked some stray Basque fans. The aforementioned account also published a photo where a ‘txuri urdin’ fan was seen injured on the left side with some kind of sharp object. According to the Italian newspaper La Reppublica, some of the Italian radicals shouted “we will kill everyone” as they ran towards Real.
