At least 12 arrests have been made after clashes between Napoli and Leicester City fans at the King Power Stadium last night.
Skirmishes broke out before and after the Europa League meeting between the Premier League and Serie A side and the Leicester Mercury reports 12 fans have now been arrested.
Further investigations are ongoing, so Police could arrest more fans involved in the clashes in the coming hours.
According to the report, missiles were launched between the two sets of fans and Napoli fans removed their belts to use them as weapons.
Police officers had to step in to separate the home and away supporters and Napoli fans were kept back until the rest of the stadium had been cleared.
Leicestershire Police’s Leicester City events Twitter account described the behaviour of some Napoli and Leicester City fans as disgraceful.
“All the excitement for Europe spoilt once again by the minority. CCTV will be viewed and those responsible will be held to account,” they said.
“Behaviour by some was a disgrace. Well done and thank you to those who didn’t get involved. Twelve arrests so far and counting.”
On the pitch, Napoli recovered from two goals down thanks to a Victor Osimhen brace, holding the Foxes to a 2-2 draw.
Napoli and Leicester City will meet in the second leg at the Stadio Maradona on December 9.

While playing in Europa League group stage and the fans of these clubs fight as though it is the last greatest match of their lives. Imagine what would happen if they play in the Champions League Finale, World War 3 wouldl break out and kill each other.
