Six of them police officers
Nine injured: sad outcome of the derby disgrace
After Rapids' 2:1 win against Austria on Sunday, fans from both camps caused an inglorious aftermath. A total of nine people were injured that evening, including six police officers. A sad summary of the derby disgrace ...
The events began when Austria supporters threw firecrackers in the direction of the neighboring Rapid East Stand. The situation then escalated relatively quickly, with fans of both clubs storming onto the pitch.
The stewards did not have the situation under control. Later, a fan was carried off on a stretcher with his face covered in blood. Initial reports that this was a police officer were denied by a representative of the Bundesliga and Rapid.
The Vienna police announced that videos are now being secured and viewed in order to identify the perpetrators. So far, four criminal charges have been filed in addition to numerous administrative charges - mostly due to violations of the Pyrotechnics Act.
Further clashes
Away from the riots on the pitch, there was already an altercation between Austria supporters during the match, according to the police. As spectators were leaving the stadium, another violent altercation between fans - this time from Rapid - is likely to have taken place.
