Police make 2 arrests after brief fan-fight at high-security France-Israel soccer match

PARIS (AP) — French police officers made two arrests after a brief fan-fight at a Nations League soccer game between France and Israel, Paris police chief Laurent Nunez said Friday.

Stewards “immediately contained” the scuffle inside the Stade de France national stadium on Thursday night, Nunez said.

“There was the start of a fight. We were extremely reactive, so the incident was very quickly contained," the police chief said, speaking to broadcaster France 2.

Officers took one person into custody immediately and arrested the other after the match, with the help of video evidence, Nunez said.
