Video: Medellin fans were chased to the Cali transport terminal

A new act of violence involving football occurred in the early hours of Wednesday, after some Independiente Medellín fans were chased by barristas from Deportivo Cali, who on motorcycles cornered them to the transport terminal of the capital Vallecaucana.

The incident was captured in the videos of the central security cameras of the intermunicipal buses. There, it is evident how the supporters of the Antioquian team rushed through one of the doors of the terminal, while behind them arrive several people mobilizing on motorcycles, who later also entered the terminal.

According to the regional newspaper El País, the influx of the sugar team's fans caused minutes of anguish among the passengers who were there at that time.

When consulted in that media outlet, the general manager of the Cali Transport Terminal, Ivanov Russi, assured that this situation could be repeated, and therefore asked the authorities to intervene immediately.

“This situation seems to be at risk of recurring today and tomorrow, which is why we are making two calls. The first is to the bars of the different teams so that they please keep all their situations and all their conflicts outside the premises, this affects travelers and gives a very bad image to the city. And secondly, we are asking the National Police for a security reinforcement,” he said.

The colonel (r) and security secretary of that city, Carlos Soler, spoke about this incident in the capital of Vallecaucana, who indicated that they are working on the identification of violent barristas.

“We are not going to tolerate it or allow it. These people are going to be identified, individualized and captured. We are thinking of restricting the entry of Saturday's match if this type of behavior continues that threaten coexistence”, he concluded.

That same night, as confirmed by the same official, a similar event had occurred, in which followers of America, who were mobilizing in a taxi with scarlet team flags, were pursued and harassed by barristas from Cali, who were transporting on motorcycles.
