Brawl With Ukrainians Sends English Fans To Hospital
Three English football fans were injured late on Sunday (September 8) in a massive brawl on the main street in central Kiev.
English fans arrived in Ukraine for a crucial away World Cup qualifier on Tuesday (Sunday 10). According to Ukrainian media reports, around 30 youth with faces obscured by hoods attacked 10 Englishmen drinking in a central pub.
Three English fans were hospitalised. One of them was stabbed while another was hit with a glass bottle to the head. An amateur video shows one of the injured men lying on the pavement with other people attending to him while police and ambulances arrived.
Police were not able to catch the attackers. The criminal case was also not opened due to police not able to communicate with the injured, due to translation difficulties.
