A soccer game they were attending in southern Poland ended in violence Monday evening.

More than 80 police officers and soccer fans in Chorzow were treated for injuries after a bloody riot erupted at the end of the match.

The fighting eventually ended when riot police were called in to force back the raging soccer hooligans with tear gas, water cannons, and rubber bullets.

More than 50 fans were arrested during the fighting.

At least one policeman remains in serious condition this morning.
