After the Super League game between FCZ and St. Gallen, there will be unsightly scenes on Saturday near the Letzigrund stadium. As the city police wrote in a message, the tram operation was significantly hindered by alleged FCZ fans and a VBZ customer advisor was approached at the VBZ stop Letzigrund. As a result, the VBZ stopped the removal of the FCZ fans.
The situation escalates shortly after 9 p.m. A tram driver in the tram on line 2 is attacked by several people between the Zypressenstrasse and Lochergut stops and seriously injured. He must be brought to hospital care. As a result, line 2 is interrupted.
The Zurich City Police started the investigation. No arrests have been made to date in this regard.

As a result of a reported dispute at Bahnhofplatz, the emergency services around Zurich main station identified several dozen alleged football fans of FC Zurich and were able to calm the situation down thanks to the large police presence.

In the nearby promenade, several people were attacked a little later by a violent group, some of them dressed in FCZ fan merchandise. Shortly before midnight, the Zurich city police supported the Zurich canton police and the transport police when a mob of alleged FCZ supporters showed solidarity with the alleged perpetrator when they were arrested after damage to property in the main train station.
Even at an earlier point in time, despite the closed fan sector of the Letzigrund stadium, several hundred fans of FC St. Gallen ran from the Hardbrücke train station to the Letzigrund stadium and found themselves in the main grandstand. The Zurich City Police prevented the opposing fans from meeting after the game, so the departure of the visiting team’s supporters went off without any problems. (zis)
