BOGOTA, Colombia (AFP) – A fan of the Colombian football team Millonarios was killed by three fans wearing T-shirts of rival Atletico Nacional, police said Wednesday.
The unprovoked assault happened Tuesday night at a bus station in Bogota, police inspector Oscar Solano told Caracol television.
Press reports said the man was stabbed and died later in a hospital.
“A Bogota family is in mourning because football fans allegedly attacked someone,” Solano said in a separate interview with Blu Radio.
Police arrested the three suspects and they were taken away to be charged with manslaughter, he added.
Last year in Colombia 1,173 people died in violent incidents at sporting and cultural events, according to government figures. (Agence France-Presse)
