At least 125 people were killed and more than 100 others were injured when a riot broke out at a soccer match in Indonesia and led to a crowd stampede, police said on Oct. 2.
After the game between home team Arema FC and its rival, Persebaya Surabaya, in East Java province on Oct. 1, multiple people among the crowd stormed the field, and fights broke out between the teams’ supporters. Riot police then fired tear gas, which triggered a panic, resulting in the stampede, East Java police chief Nico Afinta told reporters.
