Major police operation on Saturday evening in Graz: After the GAK match, Red and Czech hooligans attacked Sturm supporters.
Hopefully that wasn’t a foretaste of the first Graz football derby of the season in two months – because there was already some serious pounding in the capital last weekend. According to reports, Red hooligans randomly attacked and beat up Sturm fans after GAK’s home game against Blau Weiß Linz on Saturday night.
“Situations resolved quickly”
The police confirm corresponding reports from social media and fan forums. “Because there was a large contingent of colleagues on site at the GAK match, all situations were resolved quickly,” says Heimo Kohlbacher, spokesman for the state police.

For research reasons, they do not want to comment on the affiliation with the club. “But the identity of all those involved could be traced by the new research group SGS (Attention: Violence Typical Sport). All those involved can prepare for criminal and administrative prosecution.”
Support from the Czech Republic
Victims of the escalation of violence report bruised skulls and ribs, but police cannot confirm this. “Everyone at the scene said they were unharmed,” Kohlbacher said. Particularly spicy: the GAK “fans” are said to have had support from fellow Czech hooligans who proudly posted photos of their “visit” on social media.
