Undesirable events took place around the stadium before the "Newcastle" - "Sunderland" match, held today as part of the 30th round of the English Premier League. Tensions between rival fans, facing each other in the elite for the first time in 10 years, turned into a mass brawl.
İdman.Biz reports that a small group of "Sunderland" fans separated from the police escort and entered the area where "Newcastle" fans were gathering, which ignited the situation. The parties began throwing punches and various objects at each other.
According to witnesses and journalists at the scene, one fan was seriously injured during the fight. The person in critical condition was immediately given artificial respiration at the scene. He was then taken to the hospital by ambulance.
Police forces intervened to separate the parties and restore order. It is reported that several people have already been detained in connection with the incident. The fact that such a shadow has fallen on the long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby has been sharply condemned by the leadership of both clubs and the football community.
