Three Irish arrested after ‘mini riot’

The incident, which occurred at approximately 3.30am, led to deployment of some 100 riot police with shields to a corner of the square to cordon off a section of fighting fans.

It is believed the altercation began between Polish fans and a number of Croatian fans from Zagreb. Bottles and large parasols for the outdoor bars were thrown. Nobody was seriously injured in the confrontation, which lasted for about 15 minutes before the riot police dispersed those involved.
