Six Feyenoord fans arrested, including a minor, for altercations in the Metropolitan's VIP box

They had already warned the night before the match between their team, Feyenoord, and Atlético de Madrid at the Metropolitano. Several Dutch fans beat up a man near Cuchilleros Street who needed medical assistance from Samur. The National Police opened an investigation to search for the aggressors.

On the day of the match, the almost 4,000 fans were controlled by more than 1,300 members of the National and Municipal Police, as well as the presence of Samur-Civil Protection crews.. “They are quite dangerous,” the law enforcement officials said of some fans who are accumulating incidents throughout Europe.

Then, escorted by members of the Intervention Unit (UIP) of the National Police, they occupied their seats at the top of the north end of the Atlético de Madrid stadium.. However, it would not be in that place, where the security forces had the most control, the area where the strong altercations that are already circulating on social networks would occur.

Several Dutch fans, who had flown to Madrid without a ticket, bought seats in the VIP box area, where there are normally many booths occupied by large companies.. Then, after Feyenoord's 3-2 defeat at the hands of Atlético Madrid, a battle broke out in that section of the east side stand.

The initial reason for the fight is unknown, but around a dozen members of the UIP of the National Police were forced to intervene to control the situation.

This massive altercation ended with six arrests, all male Dutch fans, aged between 50 and 20 years old, except for one of them, a minor, who was 17 years old.. They are charged with crimes of injuries, attacks against authority and public disorder.

Medical devices had to treat five Atlético de Madrid fans with minor injuries due to the incidents with these violent ultras. One of them can be seen in the images with a bloody face.

Two hours after the end of the match, six Dutch fans were waiting for a taxi at a stop near the Metropolitano. A taxi driver, upon seeing their scarves, passed by, prompting insults and obscene gestures from the group.. Judging by what happened in the box and in several of the movements of this fan, it seemed the safest decision.
