Seven arrested in Derry
Wednesday, 10 October 2007 12:51Seven football fans were in custody today as a result of an incident before last night's FAI eircom League Cup final between Derry City and Bohemians.
The incident occurred at the Tavern Bar in Derry, where, it has been reported, several windows were broken and a girl in her 20s was injured.
Owner Kingsley Curry said there were only four drinkers inside at the time.
'They were throwing stones and bottles; whatever they could get their hands on. There was no glass left in any of the windows,' he said.
The attack happened at around 7pm last night as fans made their way to the match.
A PSNI spokesman said: 'The arrests are a result of good pro-active police work and speedy review of CCTV footage.'
