GENOA – Four Sampdorian fans entered a bar and attacked two Genoa fans: the incident occurred in Nervi, in via Oberdan.
The dynamics are not yet clear. From an initial reconstruction it would appear that a man, aged around 40, was hit in the head and in the arm from a shard of bottle after being beaten by rival fans. During the scuffles the rioters devastated the bar. The victim is said to be a Genoa ultra who would have received a Daspo in the past: the man was not in serious condition and was discharged shortly after hospitalization following the application of some stitches. A second fan, who complained of abdominal pain, was also taken to hospital.
The police were on site and started investigations. The police identified the four alleged perpetrators, well-known Sampdoria ultras, and took them to the police station. At the time of the attack, eight people were having lunch in the restaurant, none of them were injured.
Clashes between Sampdoria and Genoa fans: the reconstruction – THE NEWS
The news comes after a complex day, yesterday, where there were several clashes. Initially two groups faced each other until the intervention of the police in Piazza Alimonda.
After the afternoon’s violence, other problems in the Ponte Carrega area near Piazzale Adriatico, in the Staglieno district. A group of Genoa fans wanted to take revenge for the attack they suffered in the afternoon by going to a Blucerchiati ultras club that was empty at the time, devastating the interior. The police and firefighters intervened on site due to the start of a fire.
Now there is a fear of a constant escalation of violence between fans: it is possible that immediate measures will be taken for the fans. The Sampdorians’ important trip to Catanzaro for the last day of Serie B is already at risk of being banned.
