Fans to appear in court after Marseille-PSG match trouble

Marseille - Four fans arrested after violence during last weekend's Ligue 1 clash between Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain have been ordered to appear in court in the southern city, legal sources said Wednesday.

One supporter is accused of throwing a smoke bomb, while the others face public order offences after fans clashed with riot police outside the Stade Velodrome last Sunday.

A date for their court appearance has not yet been set.

Officers used tear gas to disperse troublemakers after some supporters tried to block traffic near the stadium, a police spokesman told AFP.

A bus carrying PSG players to the Velodrome was struck by objects thrown, including a golf ball which smashed a window.

PSG reclaimed top spot in the French Ligue 1 from Lyon after beating third-placed Marseille 3-2.

Some 65,000 spectators packed into the Velodrome for the match dubbed 'Le Classique'.
