The Judicial Police have arrested another suspect in the attack on the car carrying FC Porto fans. The detainee is 25 years old, according to what CM was able to find out. The case dates back to June 10th, after a hockey game between the two teams.

The arrest occurred when the suspect was returning to the country, according to Lusa, making this the seventh fan arrested in this ongoing investigation.

This Tuesday, the Judicial Police announced in a statement the arrest of three Sporting fans and explained that these suspects are part of a group, aged between 20 and 30, who, "aside from supporting a sports club, have been exhibiting extreme physical violence against members of other clubs' fan groups," the statement reads.

They are suspected of attempted qualified homicide, qualified physical assault, arson, theft, possession of illegal weapons, and possession and use of pyrotechnic devices.

The event under investigation occurred on June 10th, when this group, at the end of a roller hockey game between Sporting and Porto, "violently and aggressively approached a smaller group of fans from an opposing club's fan group, who were momentarily stopped in a car at a traffic light in the Lumiar area."

In addition to the assaults, the five people in the car suffered burns and had to be taken to the hospital.

On the day of the attack, the PSP identified and arrested three men, aged between 20 and 25, suspected of the same crimes and who were remanded in custody.
