spud Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 According to Fox News A player was arrested after being sent off in a Brazilian championship match while riot police used pepper spray as they fought with his team mates on the pitch. Botafogo's match away to Nautico in Recife was interrupted for 12 minutes by the fighting which ended with Botafogo defender Andre Luis being led away by around 10 officers and being taken to a police station. Club president Bebeto de Freitas was also arrested at the station, a police spokesman said, adding that both would be released after being charged. The trouble broke out when Andre Luis was sent off after being given a second yellow card for a tackle from behind. As he left the pitch, the furious player made gestures to Nautico supporters. Television pictures showed him being surrounded by riot police before one grabbed him from behind and immobilised him. As other Botafogo players intervened, Andre Luis broke away and a free-for-all ensued between players and around 20 officers. Andre Luis was eventually caught and taken away via an exit which led him through Nautico supporters. Botafogo officials said that two players were treated after having pepper spray used against them. ?The police are here to defend us and the referees,? said Botafogo's Diguinho. ?But they don't do that, they hit us.? A police spokesman told Brazilian television that Andre Luis had been arrested for aggressive behaviour after kicking a plastic bottle into the crowd and for disobeying authority. Club president De Freitas was also arrested for disobeying authority at the police station after swearing at officers. ?He (Andre Luis) kept pushing us and we used the necessary force,? the official said. ?The police will intervene every time there is a crime.? Nautico went on to win the game 3-0. Reuters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigaro Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Still a bit OTT from th poilce IMO. All that over a couple of gestures? We'd have guys arrested every week in the SPL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
