After the shame of Zurich, the shame of Lucerne. On Sunday afternoon, in the run-up to the football game between FC Luzern and FC St. Gallen, after the arrival of the special train at Lucerne station, the firecrackers and Petarden ignited.
Most of the time in and around the stadium was quiet before, during and after the game. But there was a devastating aftermath: Football hooligans rioted in four VBL buses. They smashed doors and windows.
No injuries
At the train station, St. Gallen fans finally set off firecrackers and petards again before heading home and sometimes even threw them at the emergency services. The police reacted brutally with rubber bullets. After a short time the situation calmed down and the fans of FC St. Gallen boarded the special train.
There are no reports of injured persons, as a message from the Lucerne police shows. The property damage is likely to amount to several thousand francs. (noo)
