German Police Investigate 'Dangerous Bodily Harm' After Soccer Fan Unrest
Police said they opened more than a dozen investigations after fans invaded the field, threw flares and halted play for nearly 20 minutes.
- On Saturday, large groups of fans invaded the field and threw flares during a German second-division match between Dynamo Dresden and Hertha Berlin in Dresden, forcing police to intervene and restore order.
- Referee Sven Jablonski stopped the game for over 15 minutes, taking players off the field while police formed two lines to face Dresden supporters following an earlier delay caused by pyrotechnics and smoke.
- Lit flares were thrown by both sides as Dresden fans ran the field's length toward Hertha supporters, who jumped fences to meet them; a banner in Hertha's colors was set alight.
- Hertha secured a 1-0 victory following the disruptions, though it remains unclear if anyone sustained injuries or if authorities made arrests during the incident.
- Separate fan unrest occurred at a top-division Bundesliga game where Borussia Dortmund beat Stuttgart 2-0, with Stuttgart fans approaching the field and throwing a chair before stopping behind advertising boards.
