Red Star fan shot amid Serbian Cup violence

"A 20-year old fan has sustained an abdominal wound from a firearm, he is undergoing surgery and is in critical condition," Anlave clinic director Slobodan Ivanovic was quoted as saying by Belgrade's B92 television.

"He was rescuscitated on the scene after a fight broke out midway through the second half of the match and two other individuals sustained minor injuries," Ivanovic added.

"The fan was rushed to hospital by our ambulance from the stadium immediately after the incident, which took place in the north tier occupied by Red Star supporters."

Most recently, a French fan died in a Belgrade hospital last September after he was brutally beaten up by Partizan Belgrade fans ahead of the team's Europa League match with French side Toulouse.
