Ostrava fans rampage through train

Drunken Baník Ostrava football fans ransacked train carriages taking them back from their opening league fixture against Příbram on Sunday night. Fans ripped down curtains, smashed a window and broke a sink in the toilets. Two fans were also arrested following an assault upon a policeman. Czech Railways estimated the damage at around 25,000 crowns. The match between the two teams, which passed without incident, was earmarked as high risk following violence in May when 25 fans were detained.
