SALERNO POLICE HEADQUARTERS, 250 troublemakers approached the Viola

The police commissioner of Salerno Giancarlo Conticchio spoke to ANSA about clashes outside Arechi before the kick-off of Salernitana-Fiorentina: “A group of 200-250 troublemakers attempted to approach the fence that separates the grandstand from the away sector. The prompt intervention of the police prevented contact. But the situation worsened when they began to throw everything. The prepared service worked, I would like to applaud the police who guaranteed safety. 100 tear gas canisters were fired to disperse the force, the troublemakers responded with paper bombs of a paper bomb at close range can cause deafness or blindness. We had 15 injured, 12 from the Naples mobile unit and 3 on duty at the Salerno police station the amphibian was crushed to pieces. Without the intervention of the police there would have been contact and many more injuries, also because we had to contain around 300 Florentine fans who wanted to respond to the attack on the other side.”
