Schalke and BVB fans ignite massive fireworks in the Revierderby in Gelsenkirchen (2-2) on Saturday. Particularly shocking: After Dortmund supporters stormed into the away block more than an hour before kick-off, one person knocked down a burning Bengalo and punched a 58-year-old photographer.

His vest and jacket immediately caught fire. Fortunately, the man is unharmed. He told the “Bild”: “It was a targeted attack. Otherwise there was no one far and wide. I don’t even want to think about what would have happened if the flashlight had gone into the hood instead of my back. ..» The photographer filed a complaint with the police.

Bengal splinters in the eye

A woman who follows the game in the north corner of Schalke is less lucky. She even has to go to the hospital after the game. She burns her eye and eyelid from flaring fireworks in the home team’s fan section. Later at the hospital, doctors removed more Bangladeshi splinters from the 30-year-old’s eye.

The authorities have classified the arch-rival duel as a high-risk game and have therefore imposed an alcohol ban. The worst fears have not come true and therefore the police draw a positive conclusion. “The operational concept worked 100 percent, the police measures worked completely,” said police chief Peter Both.
