A section of the away supporters’ stand gave way during Tromsø’s Norwegian league match against Bodø/Glimt on Sunday, sending fans through the structure and forcing the game to stop. One person was taken to hospital, and police have opened a criminal investigation into whether an offence occurred.
Police said two people were confirmed to have fallen through the stand. Two others may have climbed down to help, according to Aftenposten, which carried reporting by VG journalists. Bodø/Glimt’s media manager also said one person had been taken to hospital.
The incident happened about 40 minutes into the match at Romssa Arena in Tromsø. The away fans were moved from the damaged section, and play resumed after consultations involving the clubs, police and match officials, the Associated Press reported. Bodø/Glimt went on to win 2-0.
