A cliffhanger European Championship quarterfinal match between Turkey and Croatia led to more than a dozen injuries after Turkish fans attacked Croatian supporters in the final minutes of the game, police and first-aid workers said.
The violence erupted in the main fan zone, the square adjacent to City Hall. No major injuries were reported, but first-aid personnel had to treat some fans for bloody noses and other superficial injuries.
Turkey advanced to the semifinals against Germany by winning the penalty shootout after the match ended at 1-1 after 120 minutes.
Police said the fighting broke out in the few minutes between Croatia's goal in the second last minute of extra time and the Turkish equalizer just a minute later.
The Croatian fans were pulled to a fenced-off area by security personnel and treated on the spot, the Austria Press Agency reported.
Other skirmishes in front of the nearby Burgtheater — the city's major theater — ended with pushing and shoving and no injuries, police spokesman Walter Hladik said.
In the Ottakring district, police cordoned off several streets after a hail of bottles were thrown at officers in riot gear gathered to separate hundreds of Croat and Turkish fans. Ottakring has a large Turkish population.
Police said arrests were made, but couldn't immediately provide any numbers.
