Riot police in Germany intervened to stop brawling soccer fans ahead of the Serbia vs. England match at the European Championship soccer tournament in Gelsenkirchen. Social media footage captured men throwing chairs at each other outside a restaurant adorned with Serbian flags in the western city. One group dispersed as riot officers arrived and subdued at least one individual.
A Serbian fan recounted that a group had thrown glasses and stones outside a downtown bar where they were gathered, but assured that they were unharmed and focused on the upcoming game. The fan, identified as Vladimir from Belgrade, emphasized that the incident was related to football.
