Soccer match ends in rampage

At least four people, including a 10-year-old boy, were injured
in a disturbance outside of Mattoangin Stadium in Makassar after
soccer team PSM was held to a goalless draw at home by Persik of
Kediri on Tuesday. Witnesses said dozens of fans sparked the
incident when they began throwing plastic bottles at the PSM
players as they headed to the locker room.

The police stepped in
but were unable to restore order, partly because several PSM
began throwing the bottles back at the crowd. The commotion
continued outside of the stadium, with more people getting
involved. Police fired several warning shots to break up the
commotion. Three people were arrested for inciting the riot. --
