KUALA TERENGGANU: Police have detained three men for their alleged involvement in a fight during a football match between NAG FC and KESA FC at the Terengganu State Sports Complex in Gong Badak, Kuala Nerus, last Friday.
Terengganu police chief Mazli Manan said the trio comprise officials and players aged 20 to 40.
“The three suspects were arrested yesterday to assist in the investigation into the brawl, which resulted in an individual being seriously injured.
“More arrests will be made after this,” he told a press conference here today, adding that the case is being investigated under Section 147 of the Penal Code for rioting.
On Friday, a video lasting two minutes and 42 seconds went viral on social media, showing the brawl between the two clubs.
The incident is believed to have occurred due to dissatisfaction over the refereeing.
