Police in Budapest are studying camera footage to identify supporters fighting before Saturday’s Champions League final between Arsenal and Paris St-Germain.<\/b><\/p>\n
A police statement said the incident occurred in the early hours of Saturday morning.<\/p>\n
Footage emerged on social media showing what was said to be about 30 supporters of each club brawling and lighting flares.<\/p>\n
“Several fans got into a fight on May 30, 2026, at around 00:20 in Budapest’s 7th district, on Kiraly Street,” a police statement said.<\/p>\n
“The BRFK 7th District Police Department has initiated proceedings against unknown perpetrators for the crime of gang violence, within the framework of which the camera recordings are also being analysed.”<\/p>\n
Nearly 4,000 police officers will be deployed across the Hungarian capital for the Champions League final, with tens of thousands of fans expected to travel to Budapest without tickets.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, Hungary’s deputy national police chief Zoltan Janos Kuczik said: “This will be the largest single-day police deployment in Hungary’s history.”<\/p>\n
It was described as a “high-risk event” with security preparations beginning more than a year ago.<\/p>\n
Two Portuguese and a British man were arrested on Friday following a fight at the Champions League fan festival site and charged with disorderly conduct.<\/p>\n
Police said a British man who climbed on to the roof of a parked car and damaged the vehicle was also arrested.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
