Police arrest dozens after Croatia-Poland football match
Croatian police
arrested dozens of football fans for fighting after the UEFA Nations League
match between Croatia and Poland, the country's interior ministry said on
Monday.
It said dozens
of Polish fans attacked Croatian supporters and then clashed with police,
following Sunday's game in the eastern town of Osijek, in which Croatia beat
Poland 1-0.
There was
another fight elsewhere later on between Polish and Croatian fans, it added,
without giving details of the location.
"Dozens of
people have been detained and the criminal investigation is ongoing," the
ministry said on social media.
The authorities
did not say exactly how many Polish nationals had been arrested.
At least five
fans were also detained in Osijek before the Group A1 match for fighting in
which a Polish national was injured.
