Hooligans attack policemen outside Rome stadium

Milan (dpa) - Hooligans have assaulted city policemen outside the Stadio Olimpico in Rome where the Serie A late game Roma-Cagliari was cancelled following the death of a fan, ANSA reported Sunday.



A Lazio supporter was accidentally killed Sunday morning in clashes among fans when a policeman fired his pistol to calm down a riot at a rest station on the highway between Rome and Florence.

 The fan was heading for the game his club was to play at Inter Milan.

 Police intervened and dispersed the group of fans who were wearing helmets and holding crowbars. They reportedly damaged some motorcycles and one car as they left the area outside the Olimpico.

 It was not clear whether the hooligans were supporters of Roma or Lazio.

 Earlier Sunday, the Inter-Lazio game was postponed to a yet unset date, while Atalanta and visiting AC Milan had their tie called off after eight minutes when home hooligans threatened to invade the pitch.
