Unruly Fans Cause Chaos at SC Paderborn Match: Injuries and Stadium Damage
Following an explosive night at the SCP07 stadium, both SC Paderborn and local authorities have expressed their displeasure at the violent actions of a select few Hansa Rostock supporters. In a joint statement, they stated, "A small group of visiting fans went wild, causing harm to bystanders and significant property damage, forcing the match to be postponed."
Hansa sporting director, Kristian Walter, swiftly distanced the club from the chaos post-match.
The dramatic 2. Bundesliga encounter was momentarily halted twice by referee Wolfgang Haslberger as a result of pyrotechnics being ignited within the visitors' section. According to reports from the police department, approximately 150 belligerent Hansa fans evacuated the standing section during the match, launching objects at security personnel and law enforcement officers.
Regrettable Consequences
As per the SCP and law enforcement statement, eight stewards and twelve officers were injured in the melee. One female officer sustained a stab wound in Paderborn's hospital. The turbulence led to extensive damage in the visitor's section of the stadium, marked by wrecked property.
Moments prior to the match's conclusion, a Hansa supporter scaled a fence and mercilessly assaulted a neutral spectator, inflicting severe head trauma. The individual required immediate medical attention via ambulance. Thankfully, there were no further disturbances in the stadium vicinity post-match.
Unforeseen Protest
Goalkeeper Markus Kolke from Hansa Rostock, who received a red card, expressed his relief to pay-TV channel Sky, "It certainly doesn't require rocket science. So much can unfold. I'm grateful no one was harmed."
In anticipation of potential protests over investors' prospective involvement in the DFL, both SC Paderborn and the local authorities had been prepared for possible unrest. However, the events that transpired at the SCP07 stadium far surpassed what had been anticipated.
