NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Cyprus police say fans of local Greek Cypriot team APOEL attacked Turkish team Pinar Karsiyaka after a game in the Cypriot capital.
Police spokesman Michalis Katsounotos said on Wednesday that no team members were injured.
Katsounotos said APOEL fans threw coins and cigarette lighters at the Turkish team after the final whistle in Tuesday night’s EuroChallenge Group G game.
He said police prevented a group of APOEL fans from charging the Turkish team’s locker room, while tear gas was used to disperse about 500 stone-throwing fans outside the stadium. Three 15-year-olds were arrested.
Katsounotos said police later safely escorted the Turkish team to its hotel. The team left the island Wednesday morning.
