Football fight: Aston Villa and Leicester City fans arrested

BBC

Sunday 17th Jan 2016

Football fans hurled bricks and bottles at each other in a "violent clash" before Aston Villa played Leicester City.

Twenty males were arrested on suspicion of violent disorder or affray after the fight in Price Street, Birmingham, at 16:15 GMT on Saturday.

Police said eight Villa supporters and seven Leicester fans were held after trying to run away from officers.

Five more were arrested after being found hiding in a nearby car park.

West Midlands Police said the fans were aged between 16 and 21 and had been bailed until dates in February and March.
Insp Richard Vickers said: "These few individuals who choose to display their 'support' through anti-social or criminal activity are dealt with strongly and we will always push for Football Banning Orders against such offenders."

Imagine if that had been Cardiff and Swansea.

Would have been headline news on ITV and BBC and questions would have been asked in Parliament!
