On a Saturday morning, a concerning incident took place near Munich's Grünwalder Stadium, home to TSV 1860 München. Two 16-year-old fans were walking along Grünwalder Straße when they were approached by three youths, aged 25, 17, and 14.

According to the police spokesman, Ralf Kästle, who confirmed the incident on Tuesday, the Munich youth demanded the TSV 1860 fans' fan items. When the fans refused, one of the Munich youth allegedly kicked one of the 16-year-olds in the leg. The trio then snatched the plastic bag containing more fan items and the fan scarf from the TSV 1860 fans.

The three suspects, who identified themselves as fans of FC Bayern, got into a car and drove away from the scene. However, it's important to note that there is no verified information or credible news reports confirming that Bayern Munich fans were involved in this incident.

The police launched an investigation, with further investigations being handled by the K23 precinct. A police patrol car was parked outside the 25-year-old's address in Sendling, based on the remembered license plate. The Lion fans managed to remember the car's license plate, which proved crucial in the subsequent investigation.

In the apartment, officers found the stolen fan items and the Lion scarf. The two 17 and 14-year-old suspects live in the Munich district, and the incident is likely to further fuel the fan rivalry between TSV 1860 and Bayern fans.

It's essential to emphasise that violent incidents or robberies should always be taken seriously and investigated by local law enforcement. If you have any specific or updated details about this alleged incident, I recommend reporting it to the local police and following trusted news outlets for official updates. If you're unsure about how to find verified information or official statements, I'd be happy to offer advice.
