Ten arrests made in connection with brawl during Mexico soccer game
Authorities in Mexico said they have made 10 arrests and expect to make more as they investigate a weekend soccer brawl that injured more than two dozen fans, including three critically.
Twenty-six individuals were identified as participating in the brawl, Guadalupe Murguía, the interior secretary of Queretaro state, said (via the Associated Press). Raids and searches for others continued, based on review of videos and other evidence.
In addition, the state suspended five officials, including police, civil defense workers and several responsible for planning and preparations, after security forces were unable to maintain control. The contract of a private security company was canceled.
