According to the Masovian regional police, “about 50 people, some of them masked, came out of a nearby forest. There was a confrontation.”

According to the police, two buses carrying Spanish fans were blocked by two passenger cars on an expressway near Ostrow Mazowiecka, in the east of the country, on the night from Wednesday to Thursday.

Authorities did not confirm that they were fans of the Madrid club, but the local press reported that they were traveling to watch Rayo, who are facing Jagiellonia in Bialystok, near the border with Belarus, this Thursday.

Police reported that seven people have been detained so far in connection with the attack.

They also seized, among other items, “balaclavas, telescopic batons, wooden sticks and metal pliers.”
