Witnesses report that an officer who was familiar with the scene was also said to have been beaten - by another police officer. On Saturday there were riots after the second division game between Braunschweig and Hertha BSC.
14 officials and, according to Eintracht, also a “double-digit” number of fans were injured. An eight-year-old girl suffered a bruised skull, and other stadium visitors suffered serious facial injuries. The police are now also investigating their own emergency services.
