Fighting broke out in the southern city of Nice the night before the European Championship match between Poland and Northern Ireland. It was not immediately clear who was involved in the fighting, but footage showed several fans wearing the dark green jersey of Northern Ireland trading punches with other fans. Reports from Europe said the two teams' fans were behaving well together until they were attacked by locals. The footage also showed riot police intervening quickly to stop the fighting, which appeared to involve about 20 people. Nice Mayor Christian Estrosi condemned the fighting on Twitter, saying "the behavior of these hooligans is unacceptable and must be severely punished." Estrosi added at about 11:30 p.m. that one person had been arrested in Nice's old town and that "the situation is calmer now." He then thanked the police force. There has also been violence in another southern city, Marseille, where for three days England and Russia fans have clashed with each other and locals.
