Fighting broke out all day in the port city of Marseille, where Russia and England fans clashed with each other and police before and after a European Championship match.

Regional police chief Laurent Nunez said most of the injuries in Marseille were minor but that four were serious and that one of them — an England supporter — was in serious but stable condition. He said 15 people have been arrested, seven on Saturday and eight more Sunday.

Local officials in the Cote d'Azur city of Nice said clashes broke out after French soccer hooligans fought with fans from Poland and Northern Ireland.
