Twenty-one detained in football hooliganism in Ostrava

Police in Ostrava detained twenty-one football hooligans on Saturday after rival fans smashed a pub ahead of the evening’s football game between Baník Ostrava and Opava. Eyewitnesses say the pub quickly filled up with around fifty fans and a verbal dispute soon sparked a free-for-all. Although the police was on the spot within minutes the pub’s interior was completely demolished. Four of the rowdies detained were Polish nationals.
