MANCHESTER, England (UPI) -- Manchester abandoned plans Thursday to
put up big TV screens around the city to show next week's all-English
Champions League soccer final, officials say.
That decision came after what the city called a "baying mob" of
Scottish football fans went on the rampage, attacking police officers
and civilians Wednesday night, The Times of London reported.
In an evening of violence, which police said had left them "sickened
and disappointed," one fan was stabbed and mobs ranged through the
city where sports tension was high all day.
Police released video footage of the attacks Thursday showing
marauding mobs of fans running through the streets and officers being
pelted with bottles and chased.
Scores of Rangers fans hurled bottles at workers trying to repair a
big TV screen 15 minutes before kickoff.
A total of 52 assaults, many directed against police, were recorded
in Manchester and 42 fans, all believed to be supporters of the
Rangers, were arrested. Fifteen police officers and a police dog were
treated for injuries.
