Atalanta Supporter Fatally Stabbed in Clash with Inter Fans
(Reuters) - A 26-year-old fan of Italian Serie A team Atalanta was stabbed to death during clashes between Atalanta and Inter Milan supporters in the northern city of Bergamo, media reported on Sunday.
The two groups of fans got into an argument near Atalanta’s stadium on Saturday night, which escalated into violence, with the Atalanta supporter knifed in the back, La Repubblica and La Gazzetta dello Sport newspapers reported.
There was no immediate confirmation from police in Bergamo, where Atalanta are based.
Media reported that a suspect in his late teens had been arrested and that a knife was found close to the man who died. Emergency services arrived swiftly but were unable to save his life.
