84 soccer hooligans were arrested for allegedly participating in a brawl before a game between Real Betis and Osasuna in October, the Spanish police said.

The brawl occurred before Betis’ 2-1 win over Osasuna on October 29 in Seville. Police said hooligans allegedly used wooden sticks and metal bars among other objects when they clashed near Benito Villamarín stadium.

They arrested 60 people in Pamplona, where Osasuna is based, another 23 in Seville, and one in Madrid on Friday.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.
