Alleged Santa Fe fans robbed and assaulted Millonarios fans near El Campín stadium

Four days after a pitched battle took place between two Atlético Nacional bars on the Chía-Cota road, there was a new incident of violence between alleged fans of football teams, only in the vicinity of El Campín Stadium.

In a store on 57th street with transversal 28, where they also sell beer, a group of subjects wearing garments alluding to Independiente Santa Fe rebuked some young people with a Millionaire t-shirt who were distributing. He also assaulted, threatened and stole the belongings of another group of friends, without elements of the Ambassador, who was resting after a football match on synthetic courts in the area.

In a video shared by the Citytv Night Owl of the establishment's security cameras, you can see how some fans of the cardinal ensemble approached a table where some fans of Millonarios were drinking. After a moment, they left and returned with more people to enter the bad guys to the place.

Although the store owners tried to mediate the situation and even ran a fence to prevent the aggressors from entering, they could do nothing. With chairs, blunt objects and machetes they intimidated customers.

The same young man referred to by the witness was wounded in the head, so much so that, immediately after the alleged fans of the red and white box left, they had to take him to a medical center.
