An outburst of violence
In the 82nd minute during a football match between the two teams: ASC Labourdonnais and Vincendo, supporters invaded the field to attack certain players.
They were armed with bladed weapons such as iron bars or baseball bats. On videos posted on social networks, the attackers chased the Vincendo players into the locker room.
In total, around twenty gendarmes intervened to protect the players. Unfortunately, no arrests took place.
3 players from the Vincendo team were injured and a 5-year-old child, according to our colleagues from the Body.
