Alcohol-related vacations - Mallorca police disperse soccer enthusiasts using blanks.
Mallorca police broke up a wild gathering of Alemannia Aachen soccer fans at Ballermann beach with gunfire. Officers fired pepper spray at the fans on Monday near the Schinkenstraße area to disperse the group, according to a police representative on the island.
Footage shared online shows police officers pursuing Aachen supporters with guns. The Germans were celebrating their team's move to the 3rd league.
The celebration at Bamboleo nightclub had become disorderly, explained the police representative. "The football fans were causing trouble inside the bar. When a bouncer tried to remove them, they physically assaulted him." Even when police showed up, the Germans disobeyed orders to leave. So, authorities took steps to bring back law and order. No arrests were reported.
Each year after the German football season ends, numerous teams and their enthusiasts head to Playa de Palma for celebrations. May and June are often labelled as the most chaotic months at Ballermann due to the rowdy young crowds. Bamboleo made news last year when its bouncers chased German visitors with sticks.
