Police arrest six after football brawl - Homebush
Saturday, 01 May 2010 11:46am
Police attending the NRL match last night at ANZ Stadium at Homebush arrested six people after a brawl at the match.
The Parramatta Eels and Canterbury Bulldogs match at Homebush commenced shortly after 7.40pm and had a number of police and security officers at the venue.
With approximately ten minutes of the second half remaining a brawl occurred at the northern end of the ground.
As a result of the altercation six people were arrested and four of those issued with criminal infringement notices for offensive behaviour.
In all 15 people were ejected from the ground during the match.
The police operation continued outside the ground as the crowd moved towards the railway station at the completion of the game.
Police made a further arrest for offensive language and two juveniles were detained for malicious damage.
Two officers reported being injured as a result of the operation with one suffering a dislocated thumb and the second received leg injuries from the brawl.
Senior police have spoken to the NRL and inquiries into the incidents continue with the issuing of banning notices to be considered.
