BERLIN (AP) -At least 23 people including 11 police officers have been injured in rioting before a German third-division football match.
Osnabrueck police told the dapd news agency Saturday that trouble erupted before and during VfL Osnabrueck's derby game against Preussen Muenster.
Five police officers sustained burns and injuries from firework explosions. Twenty-nine arrests were made before the game after fans attacked police.
Large firecrackers were also thrown from the visiting fans' stand into the players' tunnel, injuring several people. Details of the injuries were not immediately known.
Police spokesman Georg Linke says "the perpetrators weren't found yet. We also don't know what type of pyrotechnics were used."
