Juventus Fans Clash With Police

MILAN, Dec 3 (Reuters)(DS) - Juventus fans hurled plastic seats and flares at police at the end of their side's 2-2 draw against Inter Milan at the San Siro stadium on Sunday.

A group of around 20 officers were isolated on a section of terracing near the exit from the end of the ground where some 5,000 travelling Juventus fans watched the match.

They withstood a barrage of missiles before reinforcements arrived and helped restore order.

Travelling fans also clashed with police during Roma's 0-0 draw at Perugia earlier while a linesman was hit by a water bottle thrown from the crowd during Napoli's 1-0 defeat of Bari.

Italian soccer has been plagued by sporadic violence this season.
