Violence mars England's 1-1 draw with Russia at Euro 2016

MARSEILLE, France (AP) — Russia fans stormed a section of England supporters inside the stadium moments after Saturday's 1-1 draw between the countries at the European Championship on another day of violence and rioting in the southern French city of Marseille.

England and Russia fans clashed throughout the day at the Old Port district and briefly outside the nearby Stade Velodrome before the match. Police in the Mediterranean port city fired tear gas and water cannons at fighting supporters in a largely unsuccessful attempt to rein in trouble that authorities said left at least five people injured.

The clashes continued moments after the final whistle, when a large group of Russian fans in one of the stands behind the goal advanced on England supporters in the neighboring area, throwing objects and breaking through a line of stewards. England fans — including young children — fled for the exits in panic, with some having to vault railings to escape.

UEFA will open disciplinary proceedings over the violence in Marseille, with Russia facing the stronger sanctions from European soccer's governing body after the incidents inside the stadium.
