Two people from Germany have been arrested after an assault on police at Toronto Stadium this afternoon, police allege.
Toronto police said officers and security personnel responded shortly after 2 p.m. to reports of an altercation in the stands during a match between Canada and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
When officers tried to eject a fan, items were thrown at them, police said.
“Additional officers were deployed to assist, and the situation was subsequently brought under control,” police said in a news release.
Two officers sustained minor injuries and were treated at the scene.
In an email to CTV News, a Toronto police spokesperson said two men that were part of the Bosnian fan group were arrested.
They have been identified as 27-year-old Eldar Grabovac and 25-year-old Emir Colic, both from Germany.
They have been charged with assaulting a peace officer.
