WARSAW, Poland (AP) -- Thirty people were arrested and five police vans damaged during a second night of violence in Knurow, southern Poland, following the death of a soccer fan hit by a rubber bullet fired by police.

Some 200 young men attacked the police station and officers with molotov cocktails and stones on Sunday night. That followed the death on Saturday of a 27-year-old man who was hit by a rubber bullet in clashes with police during a Polish league soccer match at the local stadium.

An autopsy Monday is set to reveal the cause of the man's death with prosecutors investigating the death.
