Brazilian soccer fan *****, others injured in ambush

Brazilian authorities say a Cruzeiro soccer fan has ***** after a roadside ambush by rival supporters in São Paulo state.

The fan was confirmed ***** at a hospital in the city of Mairipora, 46 kilometres north of Sao Paulo. Local media reports said at least 12 fans were injured in the same ******* on Sunday morning.

The Cruzeiro fans were traveling back to Belo Horizonte by bus after their team’s 3-0 loss at Athletico Paranaense in the top-tier Brazilian league on Saturday.

Brazil’s federal road police told journalists the victim was a 30-year-old man, but did not provide more details. São Paulo’s public security secretariat said the ******* was carried out by ultra supporters of rivals Palmeiras.

Footage on Brazilian TV showed a bus on ***** and several Cruzeiro fans lying on the sidewalk as they were punched and hit with sticks.

Cruzeiro said on its social media channels that it “deeply regrets yet another incident of fan *********” in Brazil.

The club also said “several fans were wounded.”

Sao Paulo-based Palmeiras has not commented so far.
