At least 23 were reported injured and 10 dead as violence broke out between fans during a football match in Central Mexico. The fight soon took such a serious turn that there was an outcry in the stadium and the match had to be suspended in the 62nd minute.
As security guards opened the stadium doors to allow fans to get to safety, some instead continued to exchange blows, forcing the game to be stopped and sending the players to the locker room.
One fan could be seen pulling a knife to cut the nets of one goal. Others destroyed one side's bench and some fought in the tunnel to the field.
The videos of such a horrifying incident are circulating on social media. In the video, fans are seen falling on each other. The VAR monitor broke during the fight. Pictures posted on social media showed injured fans.
A user sharing the video on Twitter wrote, “Where was the authority while everything was happening...violence in the Querétaro stadium. The match between #Queretaro and #Atlas was suspended.
