The origin of the fight remains unclear, but it seems that a young man in particular was the target.
Monday evening, in Clichy, a fight involving fifty young people broke out on the sidelines of a "friendly" football game.
From the urban supervision center, a little after 7 p.m., municipal police officers saw the crowd forming in the pedestrian part of rue Villeneuve, which runs along Roger-Salengro Park and borders part of the Jean-Racine stadium. .
It was on the lawn of this stadium that young people from the city played a match.
Crutches, knives and iron bars found at the scene
The surveillance cameras returning images clearly showing a big fight, the municipal police and the national police rushed to the spot.
Upon their arrival, the young people cheered up in groups.
The police nevertheless arrested nine teenagers, aged 15 to 17, and placed them in police custody.
The designated victim would have taken advantage of the confusion to flee as well.
At the scene of the clash, the police, on the other hand, discovered "crutches, knives and iron bars", according to a police source.
The city closed the Jean-Racine stadium on Monday evening, as well as the Roger-Salengro park.
And to prevent those who wanted to fight it out on the other stadium, the Pasteur pitch located at the other end of the city, it was also closed.
