Masked hooligans shoot flares and chuck iron slabs in violent football clash
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Masked football hooligans battered each other with fireworks, golf clubs and iron slabs in a massive fight. Young fans of Bohemians FC and Derry City FC violently clashed before the two teams played each other in Derry, Northern Ireland. At least two men, including one teenager, were injured in the fighting on Friday. In one video, the two groups of youths, wearing masks, hoodies and tracksuits, clashed on either side of a metal fence. One man shoots an endless stream of fireworks 'like a machine gun' at the rival supporters. At the same time, his pals chuck heavy objects over the fence and wave golf clubs. It is at this moment that a little girl can be heard screaming 'Daddy' to an unidentified man. The gut-wrenching cry gets a reply of 'you're all right', before he tells the fighting youngsters: 'Calm down lads'. While some scatter from the missiles coming towards them, some youths on the other side of the fence attack back as the situation escalates. They pick up heavy slabs and throw them back over the railings. Footage from other parts of Derry show huge groups of masked young men attacking each other. Many throw planks of wood, and one can be heard shouting: 'Give it to 'em'. Following the violent scenes, the Police Service for Northern Ireland released a statement about the fights between some supporters of Bohemians FC and Derry City FC. They said the disorder kicked off at 7pm around Lecky Road and Lone Moor Road areas of Derry. It came as the second and third placed teams in the Premier Division of the League of Ireland faced-off. A teenage boy and a man in his 20s were injured in the clashes, which continued throughout the game around the Brandywell stadium. The match was even stopped for five minutes when a flare set fire to the artificial pitch. Superintendent William Calderwood said: 'We believe that the disorder we witnessed on Friday evening was pre-arranged and we will be reviewing all available footage to identify those involved.' They asked for people to come forward to help with their investigations. No arrests have been made and stadium staff helped to quell the violence. More Trending The football fixture itself ended in a 1-1 draw, with the goals scored shortly before and after half-time respectively. The game was peaceful, in contrast to the scenes outside, with only three yellow cards and no red cards handed out. Local representative Mark H Durkan said the violence had 'all the hallmarks of an organised attack' and said the fighting 'must stop before someone is killed.' He added: 'It is disgusting and disgraceful that so many football fans and families left the match in fear tonight due to violent clashes that occurred outside in what had all the hallmarks of an organised attack.'
