Friday evening, the violence marred the football game between Quevilly and Rouen. During this national derby, an assistant referee was injured in the head by projectile jets which would have been launched by a man who was placed in police custody.
The match, which saw the 2-1 victory of Quevilly-Rouen Métropole (QRM) against FC Rouen (FCR) brought together 6,600 spectators, “including ultra supporters,” said Seine-Maritime prefecture on Saturday, adding that the meeting was classified level 2 out of 5 by the national division of fighting hooliganism (DNLH).
A second supporter in police custody
A fact “of a particular gravity occurred at the end of the game: an assistant referee was targeted by several projectile jets, and was reached in the head by one of them launched at all force from the Lenoble tribune, devoted to the supporters of FC Rouen”, deplored the prefecture. “Thanks to the excellent coordination between QRM security services, in particular their video operators, and the police present by their side to the PC security and then to the police engaged on the ground, the alleged perpetrator of this gesture could be identified, then recognized and arrested at the end of the meeting, a few hundred meters from the stadium”.
A second supporter of FC Rouen “who accompanied him and outraged the police on the occasion of the arrest of the first”, was also placed in police custody.
Measures to protect arbitrators
The prefecture has also indicated that it will be “attentive to the consequences that the disciplinary committee of the French Football Federation will draw from these serious facts, which have their place on any football, professional or amateur field, and are the fact of Hooligans whose action brings serious damage to FC Rouen which they claim to be supporting”.
