Some 155 police officers were injured in fighting involving Dynamo Berlin and Energie Cottbus fans over the weekend
– most of them from the use of tear gas. Berlin police said 116 officers suffered injuries from tear-gas use, 28 from assaults and 11 after being hit by pyrotechnics fired by supporters after the fourth-division match at Dynamo’s ground. “I absolutely condemn it,” Berlin's senator for sport, Iris Spranger, said Monday. “The club has to tell us now what it wants to do with its fan base. This is taxpayers' money that we had to spend, with 1,000 police officers for security.
Police said they prevented the situation from escalating as the game resumed, but that the rival groups covered their faces and fired pyrotechnics at each other after the match, when Cottbus fans burned Dynamo paraphernalia in return. The rival groups made several attempts to break through police lines to meet each other, forcing the police to use tear gas. “Police dogs were also deployed, and two home fans were bitten and injured,” the police said in a statement.
