Police in Mallorca disperse German soccer followers using blank rounds.
Mallorca police put a stop to a raucous gathering of Alemannia Aachen football supporters at Ballermann by firing gunshots. Local authorities confirmed that officers employed pepper spray to disperse the rowdy Germans from the Schinkenstraße area.
In a viral video shared on social media, police officers can be seen forcing Aachen fans ahead of them with guns drawn. The celebration stemmed from Alemannia Aachen's promotion to the 3rd league.
Officers claim that the party at Bamboleo bar spiraled out of control, with the football fans creating mayhem inside the premises. As a doorman attempted to remove them, the rowdy Germans turned aggressive. Despite police arrival, the group remained stubbornly unwilling to leave. To maintain order, authorities employed a series of measures. No arrests were reported, as stated by the police spokesperson.
After the conclusion of the German football season, numerous clubs and their fans flock to Playa de Palma to commemorate. The months of May and June are notorious for excesses at Ballermann because of the unruly adolescent crowds. The Bamboleo drew widespread attention last year when its bouncers wielding batons chased away German vacationers.
