Football Lyon : Spurs fans attacked by masked men

Just some few months after the attack of Spurs’ fans in Rome of which was apparently an anti-Semitic attack has taken place in a bar in Lyon. The attack came up ahead of the Europa League tie in Lyon.

The attack is allegedly said to have been on Tottenham fans who were attacked by masked thugs making Nazi salutes on Wednesday night.

Flares and heavy objects, such as iron table stands were thrown at the window of the bar in the process of the attack.

Eyewitnesses inside the Smoking Dog said the thugs attacked the bar at 10.18pm on Wednesday night and then returned shortly after to launch another assault on the pub, which was damaged extensively as a result.

The pub’s landlord, Dave Eales from Retford, said: “At 10.18 the pub was rammed with Tottenham fans watching the Champions League on the television.

“The front of the pub, which is made up of reinforced glass, was attacked by 20-25 people.

“They threw projectiles through the windows. There was a standoff. They didn’t get in to the bar. Then it calmed down. Then they came back a second time and it all started again.

“There were three injured Tottenham fans taken away by ambulance. One of them had a head injury. I’m not sure how bad it was.”

The fans were attacked by up to 50 masked men whiles three fans were required to undergo medical treatment.
