In Prague's Hostaviř, a targeted attack of a gang character occurred when more than twenty supporters of one football club ambushed five fans of the rival club as they were leaving a gymnasium. Police released a recording of the entire incident.

Three of the victims suffered brutal beatings. The attackers first struck them with their fists, then knocked them to the ground and kicked them, particularly in the head. One of the perpetrators jumped from the stairs onto the head of a lying victim, which caused him serious injuries requiring medical treatment.

Some of the attackers were wearing red and white stitched balaclavas, which according to information from a source may indicate affiliation with Slavia supporters. Police are investigating the incident as targeted violence by one group against another.

The incident occurred in the same week when a Sudanese migrant seeking asylum in Belfast, Northern Ireland, attempted to behead another man. Both cases provoked strong public reactions and discussion about rising violence among young people.

According to a commentary published on Novinky.cz, the attack in Hostaviř demonstrates that this is not merely ordinary fights before or after matches, but systematic gang violence that could destabilise society. Source: Novinky.cz
