FANS SLAM POLICE ‘THUGS’

ARSENAL fans have written to the UK’s Spanish ambassador Carlos Bastarreche demanding action against Madrid police who acted like ‘violent uniformed thugs’ after the Europa League loss to Atletico. The letter alleges officers used batons to hit Arsenal fans, including women and children, both inside and outside the Wanda Metropolitano stadium on May 3. ‘The behaviour of the police after the match should be investigated independently,’ the letter read.
