Police and gendarmes clashed with Polish football fans late on Saturday outside Bucharest's Arena Națională, as the confrontation erupted around the stadium and nearby streets. The incident began around 01:30, after the Romania versus Poland match had ended nearly two hours earlier. Gendarmes in full riot gear, with helmets, shields, and batons, were posted around the roundabout at Maior Coravu. They ordered supporters to leave the area, but many refused. The gendarmes moved to confront the crowd, and several moments of confusion were reported. Units with helmets and shields seized other supporters instead of the targeted ultras. A Polish fan’s wife stepped in to block an officer during the incident, shouting that it was not the right man. HotNews reported the clash following the match, with officers operating in the area around the Arena Națională at the time.
