Friday’s Football Challenge League match between Neuchâtel Xamax and FC Sion was marked by clashes. The Neuchâtel police indicated Tuesday morning in a press release “that around thirty “ultra” supporters from Neuchâtel” attacked the police at the end of the meeting.
Two police officers injured
The Neuchâtel police explain that “these hooded supporters attacked the officers present to ensure public safety. From the parking lot of the Pourtalès hospital and rue de la Maladière, they used stones, found on site, and pyrotechnic devices, to throw them at the police, slightly injuring two police officers. After the usual warnings, the Neuchâtel police fired rubber bullets and detonating grenades to disperse the troublemakers.
The stone throwing damaged police vehicles and third parties. The Neuchâtel police further specify that “the Valais supporters were strangers to these excesses” and that an investigation had been opened in order to identify the people involved in this violence. /comm-gjo
