Medellin derby - 11-03-2012
Nine people were stabbed and hundreds arrested during fighting between rival fans at the Medellin derby in Colombia, media reported on Monday.
Police held more than 350 people and confiscated some 450 knives and a revolver as violence flared around the Atanasio Girardot stadium where Independiente Medellin beat Atletico Nacional 2-1 on Sunday, the local daily El Colombiano said.
They said a young man was shot dead in a separate incident not related to the match, according to police.
City police chief Yesid Vazquez said that, as from midnight, large numbers of the fans who had been arrested were being released.
Medellin notched up their first win of the Apertura championship under former Colombia coach Hernan Dario Gomez and climbed off the bottom of the standings with six points from seven matches. Nacional are seventh with nine points, seven off the pace. http://fourfourtwo.com/news/southamerica/97246/default.aspx
